    Video Transcription:
    John here with RealTruck.com. Today we're going to show you how to install a 4" lift kit from ReadyLIFT onto this 2011 GMC Sierra.
    This kit comes with everything we need to do the front and rear lift on this truck. What we have here is we have our rear U-bolts, our lift blocks for the rear. We have our front lift spacers, upper control arms, our skid plate and also our blocks for our front differential.
    One of the really nice things about this lift kit, not only does it come with the control arms with the ball joints already installed, but also new polyurethane bushings to go in the ends of the control arms. Having everything ready to go, we're going to go ahead and get started on the back of this truck.
    First thing we want to do once we get this thing up in the air and get a tire off, is to make sure that we put some kind of a jack stand or support or something underneath the rear differential because when we start taking these U-bolts off, it's very important that you got something under here so this whole thing don't just come crashing down on the floor. One of the things that you might have to do in order to get your differential to drop far enough to get your block out and put your regular block in, is to go ahead and pull your shock bolt loose here, so that way your rear differential can extend down and that's what we're going to do now.
    We've got our factory block out. We're going to go ahead and put our new ReadyLIFT block in. Something you want to make sure you pay attention to. If you look at this block, if we hold so to the bottom it's pretty much level. You can see that there's a taper here. Make sure when you put this block in that this high end of this taper goes towards the back of your track, because if you do it the other way, it's going to throw your angle off and you're going to have all kinds of problems, so that's very important.
    Okay. Once your block's back in, then you can go ahead and get your new U-bolts that come with your ReadyLIFT kit. Go ahead and put these back over. Now, make sure you get these back in the right place. They just sit down in a little notch up here a kind of a little hoop on the top of this plate. 866-554-0581 Free shipping for orders over $100!

    Really great instructional video! However I would add blue Loctite to many of the differential bolts others that are not often taken apart. Nylock nuts would be a great improvement to the kit since they will be vibrating their entire life.

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Austin Roy I agree. The only issue that I have with that is that these products come from our vendors/manufacturers and we are required to only do what is in the instructions. I can't tell you to do it the way that you are suggesting, however, once it is in your garage you can do whatever you want with it. Keep in mind that some things might void warranties though.

I have decided on 33" tires but was wondering what size of rim you recommend with 33" so there is no rub on front fenders with this lift kit. I don't want to be modifying my fenders if I can get away with it. Thanks allot for the installation instructions! Great looking truck

    Great video and so detail and almost seems a crime when dealers say it takes 8 hours. I do not know how long, but 4 hours seems like a reasonable time. I have a 2017 Silverado Double Can 2wd and looking to get a 4 inch lift kit. Do you have any recommendation on brands and shops in the Atlanta, GA area? Again, you did a very good job narrating the video.

  • @robertlarson5628
    @robertlarson5628 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video! Really helps. I don't know what size lift I need. I know what size rims and tires I want. I want 24inch by 12inch rims with 40inch by 14.5inch tires. I have a 2013 Silverado 2500HD. Do you know what would be the best size lift for the rims and tires? Thanks

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Robert Larson I would not use less than a 6" lift. I recently saw a 2500HD with 40's and he also had to do some fab on the bumper and fender on the front. This is a suspension lift so it's a little bit different on how it raises the vehicle. If I was going with that big of a tire I would probably also put in a body lift as well. Check your State and Local laws for height and tire size restrictions. Have Fun!!

    I have a 2" leveling kit on my 08 Sierra, would this lift get in the way of the leveling kit or would it be okay? Thanks guys! enjoyed the video.

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Will Heidt It would not get in the way because it is in the front, however, if it is from a different manufacturer it may not be compatible. the other thing is that if you lift the rear 4" and leave the leveling kit in the front you are right back where you started. I would recommend a redo of the front using a lift/leveling combo kit. Here is an example of a combo kit:

  • @TheMeowmix69
    @TheMeowmix69 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    So I realize I am a few years behind in discovering this video, but quick question. Is there any reason that these Readylift blocks would not work on a truck that already has a previous suspension lift? I didn't see anything in this install that would affect that, just thought I would double check before purchasing.

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It would not be ideal to install the rear blocks on a truck that has the rear already lifted. This is because the rear blocks have a tapper to them that is set for that amount of lift height and not intended to lift to be used with any other blocks.

    @aspiringadventure 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Any feed back on the ball joint life? I did this exact lift, part for part (just different brand) on my 09 Silverado 1500 and my new ball joints that came with the uca split their boots and wore out in less than a year, (approx. 10k miles) They warrantied the ball joints but I still gotta put them in and the uca don't "maintain stock angles" as advertised. There is still quite a bit of aggressive angle on all ball joints sitting on 33's. Full drop off-roading gets me worried. I don't want to be replacing these every year.

    • @AutoCustomsCom
      @AutoCustomsCom 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      We aren't aware of any excessive ball joint wear on this kit. There's also a chance the parts on the lift are different if you have a different brand lift than Readylift. I would contact the manufacturer of the lift kit you have along with checking the alignment.

      To receive the best service it would be best to call in and speak with our Suspension experts. They can ensure you get the correct set up you are looking for and guarantee fitment for your vehicle. Their contact number is 1-888-257-3323.

  • @billyk5088
    @billyk5088 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just had this installed in my 2015 Silverado . After it I noticed at a certain speed my wheel turns to the left slightly does it need alignment ? Also rubbing on the control arm when I put in reverse and turn the wheel max left or right

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It sounds like there is something else going on. I would take it for an alignment and see if they can take a look. With it hitting your control arm that may be more on the wheels and tires you have instead of anything else.

      Graham,
      It would be really close with these tires on the 4-inch lift. Readylift says that the max tire diameter is 33. They recommend a 285/60R20.

  • @kylemccauley7080
    @kylemccauley7080 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Any deals for a 2013 Chevy Silverado? I want a 4" lift.. Should I go with 33s or 35s?

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      The Geno Master 67 With a 4" you would be pushin it with anything bigger than 33s.

  • @Realtruck
    @Realtruck  9 ปีที่แล้ว

    Alex If you want to run 35s you will need at least a 6" lift. The max tire size for a 4" is 33" x 12.5" with 20" wheels, 5.5" to 5.75" backspacing recommended

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** A 33 inch tire should fit just right. There is always a possibility it could rub on the inner wheel liner. Find the point it is rubbing which is usually small, and take off with a razor knife.

      @luke13andress 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Does he use the rear shock extensions? It's not shown in the video? Also is the full video somewhere with the procces of lowering the transfer case, etc...

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      No. Shock extensions were not needed with the 4" lift. They would only be required if you plan to be jumping this truck, otherwise, under "normal" use they shouldn't reach their maximum length. The transfer case can not be lowered because it is attached to the transmission which is attached to the engine. In order to lower the T-case you would have to lower all three. Typically on a bigger lift ie. 5" or more you would need to lower the front differential.

    • @KYtoTn
      @KYtoTn 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Johnny Hernandez there are guys on F150Forum who run 35s on their 2-3" leveling kits with minor-to-no trimming. I would advise that you don't use a 3" spacer, but rather a 2.5", or an adjustable strut, such as the Bilstein 5100, but it's your decision, so best of luck

  • @letsmaketheworldabetterpla5634

      It would not be the same kit for the 03. If you'd like to give our suspension experts a call at 888-257-3323 and they would be able to assist you in finding the right lift for your truck.

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Justin,
      For exact fitment on the Chevy's you typically cannot reuse the factory wheels because of the large backspacing on the factory wheels. Now, this is not always the case and it depends on the lift/leveling kit you go with. For the best answers please give our suspension/wheel&tires experts a call at 888-257-3323

  • @PRZ_FABO
    @PRZ_FABO 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    did u mean to add the new upper strut spacer ontop of the old leveling spacer or was that a mistake? does it not affect the ride and make the lift uneven? And with the control arms being stressed that far apart would it not wear the ball joints prematurely without a extended knuckle and i would guess it must hit the bump stops pretty hard on bumps on the road right?

      +fabo perez actually, yes. This was done to create more lift. We also added in a bit more in the rears as well because when we were done we didnt like the ride. Almost 2 years later it is still working fine with no problems and the ride really isn't bad either.

    Did it handle ok with those front strut spacers you left on it? That should be the reason it was so hard to connect the knuckles back to the control arms. But 5" lifted is always better than a 4" lift.

    Do you need to do any maintenance after truck is lifted on the actual lift?

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      With any adjustment to the suspension you will need to take the truck in for an alignment. We recommend doing this immediately and to follow up after 500 miles to ensure everything is still tight and hasn’t moved.

    Since you left the leveling kit on the front of the truck wouldn't it sit higher than the rear

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Not necessarily, depending on the truck package it can have a higher rear end. With this particular kit, we did install a 1.75-inch spacer in the rear to keep it roughly the same height.

      The kit by itself won't, but if you put oversized tires with an extreme offset, that will accelerate wear on your wheel bearings.

      @Realtruck  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      +barracuda253 THe Pros would we having the ability to mount bigger aggressive tires, better off roading capabilities, visually appealing, higher cab viewing, increase bad weather driving. Cons would be decrease in gas mileage, state laws, and wear and tear on stock suspension components. We have lifts on a lot of our trucks at work. In the midwest we love the ability to plow through heavy snow storms, our con would be purchasing a new set of 35" inch tires after 40-50K miles which can get spendy. I hope this helps! Thanks!

  • @PaLEOjd
    @PaLEOjd 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is a very basic kit and is an easy install for a do it yourselfer. Good instructive video like usual but there are a few things that surprised me while watching the install.
    With that lift kit, new/longer shocks should be used on the rear of the Silverado. Another cost effective option would be the ReadyLift shock extensions specifically made for the GM trucks. Adding the 3" block extends the OEM shocks, that's why extensions should be used with a factory length shock.
    The ride of that truck will be terrible with bumps after the lift because of not using the correct length shocks or spacers on the rear of the truck. ReadyLift actually recommends their extensions with their blocks if not replacing OEM shocks with the correct length shocks made for lifted trucks.
    At our shop, new shocks are always recommend when installing a lift, surprised to see you keep the old beat up OEM shocks on there.
    ReadyLift also suggests the new U-bolts be torqued to 150LB/FT as well, not just tightened as shown in the video. Another item that should have been replaced when installing the lift are those sway bar end links. You can see the bolt deteriorating when you removed it from the sleeve, they won't hold up much longer.
    Good install but didn't the customer want you to do it the correct way with updated/better quality parts? We always call the customer and suggest replacing worn parts if any are discovered while doing work, especially while installing lift kits.

    • @Realtruck
      @Realtruck  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +PaLEOjd First off just so you and everybody else knows. Those extra parts do NOT come with the kit. We only show how to install the supplied parts. We don't usually add in the optional stuff. By the way. The shocks and struts were not OEM. They were after-market Ranchos that already had a longer throw on them.
      Second the trucks we use are NOT customer vehicles. We do not do any work on vehicles owned by the general public. All the vehicles we work with are usually employees, friends or family of employees, vehicles owned by RealTruck or vehicles our local dealerships let us use and the vehicle owners are not paying for the parts we leave on or the labor to install them.
      As far as the optional components. As you stated, it is, a very basic kit and easy to install.We have strict guidelines that we must follow though that are set for us by the product manufacturer. They preview all our videos for content and accuracy before we are allowed to post them.
      When I used to work in the repair shops yes that was standard procedure if you found worn parts. Yes we also in the shops recommended the upgraded components. The correct way, however, in this case is exactly as the instructions say. The correct way in a repair shop is to try and get as much money out of the customer as possible. Correct but not ethical. I have been a mechanic for 40 years and that was the main reason I finally quit working for these repair shops and opened my own. I was getting tired of the managers telling me I had to replace parts that didn't "need" to be replaced just so they could increase profits. Now, do to my business being destroyed by a flood, I work as the product installer here at RealTruck.com.
      One last thing. While doing these installs, if I find bad or worn parts such as the rear shocks in this video, I let the owner know so that they can get it repaired at their convenience by whatever shop or mechanic they trust.
      I hope this cleared up some of the surprises you had while watching this video. Thanks for your input and keep watching. Nobody's perfect. We might miss something that you might see or sometimes we do the little extras and the editing department doesn't realize they are important and leaves them out of the final cut.
