Couldn't have said it better myself. Only one thing if you have the money change out the ball joints, A-arms wheel bearings and shocks. Stock parts will fail sooner or later. If you don't have the money you can do it later one at a time, make all the suspension mods you're able to afford at the time you install the lift kit. Saves you a lot of time and effort from taking I apart again, work smarter not harder whenever possible.
You forgot to say to get it professionally aligned afterward. After messing with steering and suspension, its best to just take it to a laser alignment shop and have them dial it in perfect so that it steers straight enough you can let go of the wheel.
Rear end on mine was done in 30 minutes with some bullshitting and beers front end would’ve been like 8-10 hours if I didn’t order the wrong knuckles so it took me a week waiting on parts
Great video well put together of what all goes into installing a lift kit the right way. You guys make it easy. Thanks for taking the time making this very helpful video. Saved
Aren’t you supposed to tighten up those rear ubolt nuts up somewhat at the same time? Like snug on all before wrenching on it? Or am I just hearing things
I have a question so I bought a truck with a 2/6 or 7 drop, 2" drop spindles and a flip kit -6-7 not sure about it. I bought new struts for my front and it raised it at least 3 inches now its squatting, how can I raise my rear end now to level it out? Do I need o reverse the flip kit or get rid of it, Is there another way to lift the azz without taking it all apart and putting the leafs back on top? Thanks Sorry If Im confusing Im new to the flip kit stuff
I am looking to lift a 2024 F150 2Dr 6.5’ bed. It seems to me that cutting the frame and bolting in diff drop brackets is not as strong as factory; also, no real performance increase, just taller. Can I get a set of 2.5” coil overs to level the front, add new upper control arms and matching rear shocks, run a 33x12.5 on a 10” wide wheel and call it a day?
Do you guys torque the lift kit bolts or just snug them good? I just installed a 4 inch rough country lift and I didn’t torque anything. Worried that might come back to bite me later. Should I worry?
I have a 11 suburban ltz I have plenty of weight on the back I want to lift the back up maybe 3-4 inches what can I put on it to get it lifted I have air shocks I took the factory air ride off but the air shocks tend to leak or if you hit a bump too hard they deflate
Can you please help me i have a 2019 ram 2500 cummins i ordered a 5" rough country radius arm lift and the instructions are black and white and the pics suck can you help me find a installation video and how far will -51 offset 20×12 wheels stick out past my fenders on my truck
I havnt started to assembel my lift yet i was just trying to fond a video ots easier to watch a video cause i will rember better than written black and white directions
This is useful information, I really hope a company can make a lift kit for an suv, I want to lift my 2nd gen explorer 2wd but I haven’t found 4inch spindle for my “truck” since they don’t make 4wd spindles, so far I’ve found just factory size which I don’t want.
Damn that SILVERAYDOH is rusty...not a spec on my O4 4x4 1500...i think it does have that similar lift though..keep the vids comin fellas!! Let's Go Brandon!! Thats 'Merica right there!!
Get your hands on a fresh set of ARKON Wheels or go to a new level with a Rough Country Lift Kit ▶ bit.ly/3rzLi6I
Is big brakes a must with a 6inch cuz the prizes for them are expinsive
The rear end took us 15 minutes, the front took us 25.5 hours

Well said!
doing my first lift kit at 17 on my 07 avalanche this helps a lot thanks!
literally putting a lift in a buddy's truck this weekend. perfect timing for this video👌🏻
This is by far your best performance since you started doing them. Keep this style going and I can dig it

That is facts, anything steering or suspension related!
Yes sir another good one. Thanks for the knowledge guys. You never let us down.
🤘🤘
What is that part called at 5:33 that he’s installing, I can’t figure it out anywhere but I need one badly
Just did a 5inch RC on my 18 GMC seirra last week. Great video, subscribed 👍
My trucks the thumbnail again. Love it 🤓❤️
Hey can’t beat a sharp truck!

Thanks for watching!
Can you do a video like this on a 2WD IFS?
Mines lifted but every time I come around a corner the traction control comes on and slows me down big time. Do I need to reprogram something?
How do the leaf springs hold up to those giant lift blocks? I have heard that if it is bigger than 1" you will run into spring wrap.
axle wrap can happen on a factory height truck and even lowered trucks, Hence the introduction to... Traction bars! Alleviates all of that!

your video is the best it explains what you guys do very nice i wish you guys wasn't so so far out from where i live

I would like a before and after complete walk around with the truck you were working on.

What UCA would you recommend on a avalanche 7 inch rough country
Wish it only took 8:38 to install a lift kit. Lol
Man that’d be nice eh!
@@CustomOffsetsTV facts!. But great outline of what needs to be done. You guys are GOATS 💯
If someone wanted to remove the front lift... is it able to be returned to factory spec or not because cutting was involved? TIA
Yeah just weld the pice back or custom one but yes
Really nice 👍 love the concept
Dont forget to adjust your headlights.
Do you guys torque the lift kit bolts or just snug them good? I just installed a 4 inch rough country lift and I didn’t torque anything. Worried that might come back to bite me later. Should I worry?
just hand tighten.

Might be best to look at helper bags honestly
What about traction bars???
Can you please help me i have a 2019 ram 2500 cummins i ordered a 5" rough country radius arm lift and the instructions are black and white and the pics suck can you help me find a installation video and how far will -51 offset 20×12 wheels stick out past my fenders on my truck
What are you stuck on? I can help you
Check out how far 12 wides stick out here www.customwheeloffset.com/wheel-offset-gallery?make=Ram&model=2500&site=co&sort=yno&wheel_width_from=12.0
I havnt started to assembel my lift yet i was just trying to fond a video ots easier to watch a video cause i will rember better than written black and white directions
Will the 6" RC lift fit a 2020 Silverado double cab with regular bed?
Yes it will
I’m assuming a 2wd lift would be much easier for front installation.
You guys can read minds. I have been waiting on a video like this so that I know how to lift my truck.
Do lift kits void factory warranty or only the suspension part of it ?
My lift kit included nothing but a BDS 2" leveling kit. Put 37's on it and FOX 2.0 shocks then called it a day.
Must be nice 😅 I’m rubbing with 31.5” on the new ranger
do anyone know how long time it takes to install a 6 in lift kit on a 2007 Silverado?
Depends on your experience.
About a week
Don’t forget to tq to spec ofc.
Do you do installation of lift kits?
We do not for the public anymore.
That sucks, I’m disabled and can’t do it myself
Are you in Sacramento 😅
Can @Custom Offsets add a category for Anylevel on the gallery? would be baller if they did
We dont get many if any added sadly :(
So, Banker, how long did this lift kit take to install?
Totally 1-2 days
48 plus hours
100 beer
Buddy should have fixed his taillight as well lol looks dope tho
Yea man This is my truck I’m saving up for the tail light Im still in highschool yet so I used my summer paychecks for the build

How much a job like that cost
Prices will vary shop to shop, we can sell the parts labor will be across the board unfortunately
1299
That truck neede fluid film more than a lift! Lol
Make this video for Tundra
We gotta say what
Damn that SILVERAYDOH is rusty...not a spec on my O4 4x4 1500...i think it does have that similar lift though..keep the vids comin fellas!! Let's Go Brandon!! Thats 'Merica right there!!
LOL
Got it! 🤣😅😂
right?
reason #1 for why I would never buy one of these trucks. All that work just for a spacer. sheesh. and to pay someone it's probably so damn expensive.
interesting
Can I just buy a lift kit and take my truck to a shop and have them install it?😂 real question tho
Yes you could!
Dang that truck had some rust issues
Welcome to the rust belt :/
All chevys have that terrible wax coating. Even in desert states it flakes off and rusts.
Amen brother
Day 111 of asking custom offsets for a company dually truck build
I would only use a suspension lift I would never use metal blocks to lift my truck ever never never never
Go more in depth on cutting the frame lol, some kids might get cut happy and just start sawin whatever they think they don’t need
Cut ma dam frame in half
Hmmm
Definitely not doing this alone
👍👍
Day 151 of asking co for black and milled davincis
So you want to buy a tahoe? do this please
The truth they should tell you is that Rough Country is the crappiest lift kit on the market.
