- How to Lower 14 15 16 17 18 Sierra and Silverado.
This is the process I used to lower my 2017 Sierra. This is very similar to my 2009 Silverado that I did a video on with the exception of the front. I decided to use a new kit. I will post info below on parts used and links to some. Anyone can do this in their driveway.

Really great video man ! Actually did more detail explaining than the own company its self.... helpful . Truck came out looking A1.
Arturo Pelagio thank you. I appreciate the comments.
This foo can come to all the modelo times
Thank you for your videos. I would never have tempted to lower my truck on my own without watching your videos.
thank you. Im glad it helped
Dude you saved me steps when doing mine. Love the cleanliness of your work and your work ethic. Great help man. Thanks
Thank you. Glad I could help
You did a great job explaining detail to detail on installing the deop kit and explaining the problem of the kit and what needs to be corrected to be a bolt on and clean installation. I'm very thankful for you having this video I have a 2015 Silverado 2 wheel drive that I'm going to be lowering and I'm looking for a kit with no hickups .Thank you kepp up with your great videos.
Thank you. I can't hold out if I don't like something or think it could be improved
Great video and detail. I just lowered my 2018 GMC 1500 REG CAB. It looks like IHC has improved on the powder coating of a-arms and painting of rear parts as mine are good. Your instructions are spot on and a tremendous help!
Thank you. Glad I could help
Just got my ihc drop kit today for my 17 single cab, your video gave me a better idea of what its like to install it
little bearbear thank you. Glad it helped.
Finally a white guy that likes lowered tucks !
Giovanni Jurado :) I can't be the only one.
Well idk about other states but in California not a single white guy likes lowered trucks, they just hate on us
Lol
Giovanni Jurado well I'm in SW Missouri and I learned to love lowered trucks from my uncle who did his first one in the 80s. Lots of slammed stuff around hear. My first truck 21 years ago was a lowered s10 cameo
I'm white and I like them too. Thinking of reverse leveling my 18 Silverado
This video answered a lot of questions I had. I bought a truck that was already lowered. And it’s been a head ache figuring out what they did and used. This helped me
Glad it helped
Pretty sure I've watched all of your videos & have never commented on any of em but I have to say after reading thru comments on this video i noticed 5 years ago you took the time to respond to damn near every comment & continue to do it. I think the most recent comment i saw was 3 months ago & you're still giving feedback. Thats says alot man. Thanks for the vids & helpful info.
I sure try.
Man truck looks nice! I will be getting the same kit for my 2018 Silverado
Thank you. Might watch my 6 month review before you buy.
Great video, it's detailed. Go with 22 inch GMC sierra replica wheels, my 14 came with 20 inch chrome wheels, but I put the 24 inch replicas on my GMC SIERRA, and I upgraded my front and rear lights to the 16 Slt or Denali lights, so at the end of the day, whatever decision u make will be great......😉😁😎👍
Thank you. I actually did 22" dub wheels. Then I sold it
Great video man very detailed. I just lowered my 15 crew cab using 5/7 IHC, they fixed the turning radius issue and have the same amount as stock. The ride is really smooth as good as stock. I also have a 07 silverado classic with a 4/7 drop and helper bags but it rides like shit, have all belltech parts spindles and springs and the flip kit. Mcguaghys and belltech use same components to achieve their drops. Didn't want to go with springs again and decided to go control arms and leave the struts alone. Only issue during install was the mount hole for the top ball joint had to be reamed, the bottom mount fit great and no sleeve need. Sucks you had problems with IHC and hopefully they have improved greatly since.
Yeah they told me they would send me new design although they said a lot of other things that never happened too. I didn't have issues with ride on mcgaughys parts. The ihc kit needed a lot to meet my standards. They also sold a MASSIVE amount of kits due to this video. The owner told me this personally. He then made promises he never delivered. I'm glad the kit is working for you however.
For your 5th Gen did you use cast arms ?
No
Great vid. I'm running the same kit but at 6/6 on my '16 Silverado with 22x9's. I had the same concerns with the ball joints. One other thing I had an issue with was my ball joints had almost 0 grease in them so you may want to double check those. The rear shocks are basic Pro-Comp ES9000's. I'm looking at replacing those with some coilovers in the future. Overall I am really happy with the IHC kit.
That gunk they coat the frames with is horrible.
Ryan thank you. My were dry too. Let me know how new shocks work out.
Love how clean the wheel well is
Thank you
Damn good video lowered my own.Used a Max Traxx kit watching the video & their instructions (more video then instructions)but the results were the same excellent.Wouldnt have tried it w/o d video.Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you. Glad it helped
That looks awesome! Looks great
Thank you
Your truck looks great. I recently installed this kit on my 2017 Crew Cab Std bed and I felt the exact same way about the kit as you did but with one major addition, I have a nasty vibration coming from the rear and the pinion angle is definitely off. I am having to use shims to fix the problem. I am not happy at all about that.
Lawrence Walsh thank you. I don't have anymore vibrations than I had stock. That does suck though.
Nice truck... and nice garage and cars man
Thank you
Great taste in rides! I too own a white 16 sierra and red 98 trans am lol looking to drop my sierra soon as well
freddy hernandez thank you. Sounds like you have excellent taste as well:)
I have a 2019 ford ranger super crew cab 2wd. Wonder If you know if there is a rear drop shackle? Looking for the level look
I'm not sure if anything is out let. Ford has never got the support gm has on the lowered side of things.
I have a 88-98 Sierra with a 5/7 drop they used the bolt on Leaf spring perch like what you have and the truck has an incredible amount of wheel hop since then any way to fix this? The U bolts are tight I’ve been looking at just throwing a few welds on their spring perch to try and stiffen it up
I would get some slide a links or some sort of traction bars. Dont weld it.
homie is invited to the carne asada
Cool kit but what do you think of a belltech drop kit? Like the lowing spindles and struts for the front end and a flip kit in the rear with new shocks because I’m think of buying that kit.
Cirilo Cati Jr. Not a bad kit. I don't like their flip kit due to the brake line brackets having to be cut off. Makes going back to stock a pita
Hows the turning radius? Ive heard that these decrease it alot compared to like a djm kit
Allende NL yes it does reduce the turning radius quite a bit
Awesome video tutorial! Couple of questions if you don’t mind:
From your experience dealing with so many lowering kits can you recommend me one for my 2015 Silverado Crew cab with 22 inch wheels for a 4/6 drop?
It will be too stiff or decent suspension performance?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Thank you. Yes. I like mcgaughys best. Same kit I used on the 2009 Silverado I did a video on. Link to kit is in description of that video.
Thank you for making this video. Your truck looks great! I'm thinking of getting this kit for my 2016 silverado cc. One question for you: when you flip the leaf spring bolt, do you also install the plate that is on there under as well or do you not reuse it? In the video it sounds like you don't re-install it. Thanks.
The plate that sets on top does not get reused.
I don't lnow about the lower but that upper ball joint is a bolt in style for a 88-98 gm truck. they probably did that so if the joint ever fails you can buy and off the shelf part at any part store for it, because i believe the stock ball joints are considered none replaceable.
travis klotz yes if ball joint goes bad now you just replace the whole a arm.
Any problems towing with it lowered? I want to do this ,but I tow my car to the track each month. I don’t want to compromise tow capacity.
DriftDaddy no issues but I don't haul very often. If I did it would need to be notched.
I ran into the same problems great kit mine set at 4/6
Torwan Williams hope they fix it.
If i have a flip kit on my truck will lowering shackles lift it or lower it more. Btw its a 2014 silverado crewcab
It will lower more
Just picked up a 4x 2016 double cab, any comment on a 3 / 5 drop ? Other than an alignment do you foresee any issues with the 4wd ? Thanks brother. Also sitting on factory 22’s if that makes any difference at all
No issues with 4wd at all. Best of both worlds.
Were you able to bring the alignment back to stock or close to? Mine is off and alignment guy said its the most he can do.
I have heard lots of issues on alignment with this kit. Yes the alignment shop was able to get mine in spec.
I’m wondering if you have any information on how the truck drives after lowering and wheels ? I’m looking to build a truck and I’m not sure about 22 or 24 inch wheels.
Definitely feel more road with lower profile tires. The drop does affect some ride but not bad
hey man, i want to drop my 2017 silverado doublecab 2wd, ima get the 4/6 drop, you think my truck would “hit” or would i need a c notch? im also getting it from ihc suspension, thanks in advance!
No notch with helper bags
Truck looks sick!! How would the ride quality compared to the mcgaugys drop kit. Am still deciding between this kit or mcgauhys kits for my 17 GMC Sierra crew cab. Is there a big difference between drop and stock ride quality?
MrJl2853 thank you. Not much difference between the 2. Big difference in ride with big wheels but not much with stock wheels
Hey man I wanna see if u could help me out I ordered the same drop kit which is a 4/7 but iam haveing trouble with the bottom ball joint being too big and won’t go in the spindle. The top ball joint I made it fit
I didn't have that problem. I am not a huge fan of this kit
Whats up brother I got a quick question for you I drive a 2006 GMC Sierra Crew Cab been wanting to lower for some time now not trying to really do a c notch or flip kid don't want to go too low just looking for a 2/4 drop I already replace my rear shackles which lowered about almost 2 in is there any other way to lower the rear doing a flip kit
Jesse Cantu yes they make a hanger relocation but it's way more work than it's worth imho.
Do you know if that one inch lift shackles actually give you that one inch lift ? Wouldn’t it lower it down a inch when you have the flip kit installed
It does lift one inch. One the flip kit is completed any short shackle lifts. Longer shackle would lower more. 👍
What tires size r u running at that 6” drop I want to take my spacers out because I’m running 275/65/18 on my stock z71 wheels
Torwan Williams on this drop 5/7 I am running stock 17" wheels and tires. I have some rubbing on big bumps in the front.
Thanks for replying back on a short note, I greatly appreciate it.. 4.5/7 that’s actually really I can see why you roll on 22s now. I have this crazy question is it possible to convert a 6 lug to a 5 lug on a Silverado 2014-18..??
You can with adapters but I am not a fan of doing that.
Thoughts on the Belltech Performance Handling Kit for the K2XX trucks?
Not sure about it but I like the mcgaughys kit and hopefully the improvements on the ihc kit I used.
Did you have to mess with the pinion angle of the drive shaft. I noticed mine had a slight vibration after lowering it
I didn't. That is generally built into the flip kit.
I know this video is older but was the top ballpoint not fitting (when they told you to drill the spindle) bc you have the stamped steel arms stock and the kit they sent you is for the aluminum arms stock or casted arms stock? I know there were 3 diffeent versions that had diffrent size balljoints if im not mistaken.
At the time they only had one kit
Hey nice video! My 2017 Sierra 2wd is currently lowered this way, just got it like that last week. Wanting to go back to stock height. Do you by any chance know if I can do go back to stock with the bump stops being cut?
Absolutely can
Looks good! I have a 4/6 drop on mine with 24’s and 295 35 tire they rub on the front. Maybe with the 22’s same size tire will be good.
Dead or alive your're coming with me I love the 24" look but don't want to run.
TWA Motorsports I was debating between 22” and 24”. The guy at the wheel shop told me go with 24” that it will look better. But honestly I wish I woulda went with 22”.
Dead or alive your're coming with me I do t feel that 24s are very friendly on a lowered daily
Hey dude , I know it’s been a while since you wrote this comment but how bad do the 295’s rub?
I'd imagine a lot
I purchased the kit as well and I have yet to install it. Did that sleeve for the lower ball joint come with the kit? Mine didn't come with the kit that is why I'm asking.
Lawrence Walsh some arms don't require them. There are 3 different a arms
It might seem like an obvious answer but I’m still learning about this type of stuff, does it improve the acceleration at all or is there something specific I have to do to achieve better maneuverability?
No acceleration difference
Very good video!
Thank you
You are a great mechanic and videographer. No nonsense, great picture and comments. Are you a professional mechanic? What do you do to afford your various vehicles? Thanks.
Thank you. No I actually work for a telecommunications company. I just work on things in the spare time I can find.
That top ubolt plate, whats the bolt and nut on there for? What does it bolt too?
It keeps that plate centered on the rear. The rear has a hole for the dowel that used to set in it.
If you don’t mind me asking , would this bags fit a 2000 ext can silverado ? On a 4/6 drop ? If so what kinda of bags are they trying to tow but when I hook up just to the trailer my tires run need a little help . Thanks man , sick a** truck btw!
Jonathan rodriguez no these bags will not but in my video on lowering my last truck I have a link for those years.
TWA Motorsports thanks for replying boss and will do! Appreciate it 👍
Great video I’m looking at wanting to find a shop to do this kinda work in my area I have a disabled adult daughter and looking to lover a truck to help in loading her from the wheelchair to the truck normal truck the seat is to high can you drop a 2016 Silverado 6” or 8 have never looked into this before and what do I need to find out from the ship to make sure they know what their doing thanks
I'm sure a shop around you can handle that.
If you notch the frame do you have to cut the bed so the pump can can have clearances as well
I have only had to do that on older models. With helper bags it's not an issue.
Great video, thank you!
Thank you
Did you leave the rear original blocks out or did you put them back in once you put the leaf springs under the rear end?
Leave them out
I can understand if racing the truck for drag/drift/circuit but if not the clearance is needed, especially on city roads in Texas.
It's not that low. Never scraped here in Missouri
great video!
Thank you Brayan
curious, did your Escalade have the same OEM suspension as your truck? Meaning the MRC suspension? Curious why this kit couldnt work for Tahoes, Suburban Escalades (front only, I understand the SUV's dont use leaf spring setup). Also what didnt you like about the Belltech front suspension for your Escalade. I heard you mentioned it a couple times in this video
It did not. I made a Tahoe video and Yukon video that did however.
@@TWAMotorsports do you have a link to those. Great vids, put more confidence in my install of Belltech lowering on my 18 Suburban that I will be doing later today
@@stevedearmore2621 I can't send it from my phone. If you go to my channel its listed in videos
I have a 2018 (regular cab LONGBED)
Sierra 1500 2wd
I want lower front 3inch and rear 6inch
What would u recommend???
Can’t really find any info for longbed.
Same as short bed. Mcgaughys
Sup I have a ihc drop kit 4/6 I was wondering how can I get 4/4 kit or even 4/5. It bugs me. Now in days that it bottoms out
Lift shackle in the rear I guess
What is the part number for the new bell tech shocks ? For a 5/7 drop ?
I listed them in description of my 2009 Silverado drop video. Same part number
Did.you ream the whole upper control arm ball joint hole on the spindle or.just the bottom of it. Sorry if that's doesn't make sense lol
Just one side is all that was needed
so, I just did the IHC 5/7 kit on my 15 RCSB and my pass side front control was camber way out at factory setting. maxed the cams out and its still not within specs. any ideas? also pass side toe isn't correct. driver can be set perfectly
That is very odd. Have you talked to ihc. There is really not a way to install them wrong. Truck ever been wrecked? Did an alignment shop tell you this? I had no issues getting camber into the green.
never wrecked 23k still had factory plastic in the cams. installed at shop with 26yrs of custom work with in house hunter alignment rack. loved the kit just had questions
@@triplexj without looking at it I have no idea. I would talk to ihc and see if they sent out a bad batch. Maybe they can give you some measurements to see if the upper a arm is bad.
triplexj hey man just got a 2/6 lnstalled on my 2014 GMC Sierra the back seems like it keeps bottoming out does yours do the same?
I just installed my kit but my sway bar end links are short and the sway bar does not line up with the hole in the control arm, any ideas?
Send it back or call them I guess
You ever added a compressor and controller? Or you just put air as needed? What did you do about it or put air in the bag when you use to pull a trailer and minimal psi without trailer? Just curious
Yes on one of my 2006 crew cabs
Did your traction control service light come on when you lowered your truck?
Yes once aligned it went away.
Planning on using the same kit on my 08 single cab, question thou did it aline good? Like any camber wit the 6in drop
gabino dominguez it was in spec. Alignment shop I used said it was one of the best they have seen on a lowered truck.
Nice Iam plaiinning on settin it at the 4in for now still I goet smaller tires
Hey twa...I have a question I have a 2009 Silverado crew cab it has a flip kit but the rear is starting to make squeaking when driving I tried putting wd40 but only works for a lil then noise comes back what do u suggest I do??
If you overtighten the shackles they will squeak. You need to loosen lubricate and torque. You may have bent the holder if you overtighten it.
Thanks I will loosen them and check them
Hey does ur diff hit the top of that bed rail? I did a flip kit and a lift shackle and it hits I think
Never hit but I also have helper bags
I just lowered my 2014 Silverado. Did you remove the 1 1/2 spacer under the leaf spring? Nice truck btw! I like the lowered stock look that exactly why I lowered mine
Thank you. Yes I did
I have a question. Why do run the helper bag on a slammed truck ? I'm considering 5/7 on my truck. The only thing holding me back is that I read online you can no longer tow using a flip kit because all the weight from the trailer is now on the u-bolts.
Not true at all. That is exactly why I run helper bags for when I haul a trailer.
@@TWAMotorsports Thank you for the reply and the video, after watching it I think I will go with the McGaughys kit.
@@bo4638 you're welcome
I have a question, I have a 2017 Silverado crew cab I’m looking to do a 5/7 ihc with there helper bags, I don’t feel comfortable with cutting the frame, what would u recommend? Should i go with the 5/7 with the helper bags or would u say a 4/6 would be the better option.
You can do 7 with bags and not notch.
@@TWAMotorsports will it ride rough ?
Rougher than stock
I'm looking into putting a 4 6 drop on my 2012 sierra. I'm going to put helper bags on but my question is will I lose any of my towing. I pull a camper in the spring/summer time and don't want to lose that.
You will not lose your towing ability. I towed several times.
@@TWAMotorsports awesome thanks for the reply
@@DRKKNTRACING you are welcome
@@TWAMotorsports can you send me the link for the bags please or can you point me in the to where I can find them ? Please & thank you !
@@arturopelagio2676 check out my airbag video on my 2009 Silverado. It has link in description. Same set fits 2007-2018👍
How is the turning did you loose a lot of the turning or not really?has it given you any problems?
Gonzales John you lose a lot of turning radius in my opinion. Its actually more than I knew at the time I made this video. I would probably use the mcgaughys kit if I would have know this in the beginning.
Have a 2015 GMC Sierra single cab I what to drop my truck and Rear I drop ti 2 Shackles I what to drop ti 3 more inch how I can do ti
Put stock shackles back in and buy a flip kit.
I’ll put it in the trash
Question...did your upper control arms come with ball joints already installed? If not, is it something I should have a shop do or is it something that I can do? I have the hardware for it but no instructions on the process.
Thanks
Mine came installed. If they are press in and you don't feel comfortable doing it take it to a shop.
@@TWAMotorsports it comes with bolts and nuts and I test fitted it and it appears not to be press in. Everything lines up and seems to just be able to add bolts and nuts and be done but I feel that would be to easy. Also seems to be a lip to where the ball Joint can only go so high in the arm where a press wouldnt work. So it seems it just bolts in. Dont wanna go further in process and mess up. Also any torque specs on putting the tow hitch back on or just tighten it up?
@@losdime10 hard to say without seeing it. I dont have torque specs on the hitch. Just tight.
I can’t get the lower control arm bolt out because of the sway bar, what can I do?
You will have to loosen the sway bar
I want to get my Sierra 1500 single cab 2017 lowered. Would you recommend the ihc for that or what would you recommend
DavidHasJokes I would. I will say the mcgaughys kit I had on my 15 regular cab rode terrible. I also think regular cab trucks just don't ride as good as crews.
TWA Motorsports would I be able to get a place/shop to put them on for me? This was a lot of work
DavidHasJokes yes I would imagine
Is it safe to flip the strut under the control arm?
Some do but I'm not a fan of it.
Hey man great vid quick question i got a 17 silverado crew cab 4x4(yes im lowering it) and when u put the flip kit did you need a cnitch?
I have done several 4wds in this year. No c notch if you do 6" in the rear. I have always used helper bags though.
TWA Motorsports my 18 silverado has a flip kit and has the rear lift hanger with stock shackles can i use the 1 inch shackles to lower it one more inch
@@iguanaiguana7723 you can or putting stock one in should give you an inch of drop.
TWA Motorsports thanks for the reply i just figured it out my truck has the stock rear leaf spring hanger replaced for a lift hanger and it had the stock shackles so I bought the 1 inch lift shackles from ihc suspension and that gave me the 1 inch drop thanks for the advice
@@iguanaiguana7723 you're welcome
Nice work! Can you do a subwoofer install video please
16ValveVtec I might do that down the road if I keep it.
Would you say it’s better then a Belltech 1040SP Kit it’s going on a 2018 Sierra RCSB setup for Drag Racing 15” wheel Conversion in the rear and 17” in the front or do you know or recommend something different for me ? Any help or advice is appreciated thanks bro
It is absolutely better than that kit. I had the belltech on a regular cab and took it off after 2 months. It rode terrible.
TWA Motorsports
Thanks good to know I’ll keep my options open how about the DJM kit ?
@@LACURIOSA5 djm kit is not one I like. I used in the past and it is my least favorite. IHC>Mcgaughys>Belltech > DJM in that order.
Helpful video it helped me install my kit! What is the manufacturer and part number of your helper bag kit that you installed?
John Procita thanks. mcgaughys. Parts and numbers listed in description.
What’s the most affordable way to drop my 2018 Silverado ? My local shop is charging 1350. But I’ve seen people drop their trucks for way cheaper.
Doing it yourself. Cutting corners results in a terrible ride
I got the kit for my 2016 and have had nothing but issues it dont align lost a lot of turn radius it eats ball joints and the moog part number they give you dont work had to make upper hole bigger and the lower ball joint was to small so I had to tack them in it contacted IHC and they said they would sale me new ones guess the lifetime warrenty is junk hope you have better luck
Sold it so no idea.
Would you recommend shock extenders ? And belltechs for the rear ?
I always recommend shock extenders
I know I'm waaaay behind on this video but I am currently installing this kit and I am greatly appreciative of your hard work to make it a little easier, my one question that maybe you can help me with is the brake lines on driver side , I'm afraid of breaking the metal lines. I have undone the 2 13mm screws on the frame and unpinned the tab further forward of that but every video I see it looks like they legitimately bend those metal tubes to increase the movement. I really dont want to break a line so any help is good help. Thanks in advance
I released them on the rear also. They need to bend a small amount

Do NOT buy djm
@@TWAMotorsports what's wrong with them. Are the actually worst than IHC?
Yes. Cheap balljoints.
What rim size are those stock wheels ? Are they 17s if so i got a friend of mine that has a 5/7 drop i believe he has 2in or 3in lowering spindles with lowering springs in the front but we are having an issue with the stock wheels not having enough clearance on the spindle bolt at the very bottom i cut it flush with the bolt and still need like 1in for clearance what would you recommend should i cut more or should i install stock spindles since its on aftermarket ones. I believe the wheels are the same ones you have on your truck they look really good just trying to figure that issue.
They are stock 17s
@@TWAMotorsports how did you clear the bolt on those wheels do you have stock spindles
Yes. The video shows it. It is a junk ihc a arm drop. Stock spindles.
wondering if you could help, i want something similar to your no c notch, where can i get that at and what kit did you use? thanks
Mcgaughys kit I used in the 2009 works but will need the helper bags also.
@@TWAMotorsports thanks man 💪🏽
You're welcome
Any problems with drive line length or angle?
None at all. I think the length issue is more pronounced on the regular cab trucks.
Man. Awesome video. Did this truck not come with magnaride? My 2016 sierra Denali has the magnaride so now I’m off to research the issues with that before I start researching lowering kits.
No magride on this truck
@@TWAMotorsportsI found xineering for the delete. Also found out it’s spelled magneride. lol my bad.
👍
After the drop do you have to mess with the drive shaft at all ??
Not at all with this one.
Are those the stock wheels the truck came with? If they are what size are they?
Yes. 17s I think
