12 year old me used to watch these shows Saturday mornings on spike TV. Dreamed of being able to do aftermarket work like this as a job and for myself. Alas things change and very rarely go how we dream lol
@@zacheiriksson my problem is I always wanted to do it right and that costs money lol. In highschool I wanted an S10 and was going to lower it and put a snug top shell on and have a big wall of sub woofers. I started looking at what I wanted and adding up the cost. I decided I didn't want to work that much while I was in school 🤣. Same story when I got my Camaro senior year and probably won't ever do anything to the Accord Coupe I have now. Oh well, it's fun to dream.
I actually remember seeing this episode when it originally aired I remembered how I liked the way that "Sinister Silverado" turned out when it was completed
@Howdy Justice well, seeing as Mel Fair is co-hosting with Stacy David, this was likely late-90's-2005, but seeing as they'd said that the Silverado was new, I'd say it was probably 1999
@PowerNation, hey douchbag ever heard of a Tesla which is an ELECTRIC vehicle? Maybe punks like you who block charging stations with ur crappy trucks need a re-education of how ICE vehicles are causing global warming u moron. See ya sorry but thumbs down~
@@battosaijenkins946 someone needs a lesson on how bad making batteries are for the environment. Add in you still burn fossil fuel to create the electricity to charge said electric car. So you get to kill the environment making batteries. Kill the environment to produce the electricity to charge it. Then when the batteries are toast you have to find a way to dispose of highly toxic objects. Keep telling yourself that the Tesla is so much better. 😆
TheCummins1212 - yeah! I saw it when it was new as well! Not sure where Dallas Delano is going with his comment,,,,,, probably a bit sarcastic. Hmmmm????
I remember seeing this when it first aired. In a later episode they put a winch and bumper on it. I like the look so much I went out and ordered the same setup $$$ It outlasted 3 trucks and I still have the winch.
A man yes i feel old in that time I had a 1991 grand marquis with a 5.0 and to buy a mustang in that time was so expensive for a 19 year old with a part time job so I started to fix the marquis transmission shift kit, differential and mustang parts and some crown Vic police interceptor parts to that one of my friends dad had crashed I made a frankenstein of that car and I was amazed that it could keep up with the old 5.0 mustangs GTs
Man that 99 chevy looked really good after the lift install..... Love videos like this when they go step by step on a project.... Keep the videos comin👌👌👌👌👌
Not crazy about the guy who sounds like he narrates a police breakdown of how to stop a suspect using various tactics from the 70s, but Stacy David is the damn man!
I got the same truck but mone has the metallic grey down the bottom of it I love the dark indigo blue. I'm painting the bottom grey part black and deleted the chrome.
Yup and the fuckers don't run mud flaps and like to run there tires about a foot outside the body and toss rocks at everyone elses veichles. In my personal opinion they should completely ban lifted trucks on roads.
ha that’s what my 99 silverado is lifted and my headlights are set right at the upper left side of the road so when u pricks with the LEDs are comin at me i’ll flick my brights on at you to show u who owns the road. Bow tie brigade for life
@@eternalthread7846 completely disagree. The 07 is the worst truck I ever drove and worked on. The penny pinching is so obvious along with all the failures its sickening that our government bailed them out at this time.
Those are some big blocks to be putting under those leaf springs! Like so many others who commented, I remember when this aired on TNN also. After there country music videos on saturday or sunday morning. Well before youtube was around. I wonder if stacey david gets royalties from these videos
What about the bump stops in the rear? It should have longer ones too, if you loaded up with some weight the springs will over bent and get damaged because there's no bump stop to stop them from over benting, what hell..
Right. If I attempt that lift on my truck I'll have to torch off half the bolts n forget getting any of them out of the factory bushings on the control arms n shocks. Good ol west michigan
Dang that Chevy is gorgeous I remember when centerline wheels were king if you didn’t have Prime or centerlines on your truck you were doing something wrong lol
according to custom offsets you tube video don't crank up torsion bars after any lift is installed otherwise ride quality will be poor So im wondering if you want a good ride buy a lift that is 2 inches more then you plan on using ?
Goes to show how ridiculous prices are for Snap on & Matco & Cornwell & Mac are. These guys would rather wrench by hand than to buy a full box of Pneumatics without a sponsor deal.

Sinister Silverado I remember the build of this truck new Silverado new lift,tires,wheels later on new winch,fog lights,bumper,rear bumper and steps all the stuff they did to this truck and they took it to the crusher and got it crushed...
@@haydenreyes4621 maybe, but resetting/custom leafs has been a thing since forever. Lifting with blocks is a terrible idea when it comes to actually off roading. Used to frequently drive a friends truck with 6 inch blocks in it, had axle hop from hell when it broke traction on a hill or in sand.
alright....average joes do not have the tools for the rear end brake line re assigned....locations...i was lost at that point...soooo...it does require an professional installation after all...

If only tortion bars actually slid out
You realize this was filmed 20 years ago and this truck was only a year or 2 old....not 20 years old.

Wow if only I can find a 1999 Silverado in that condition. Today.
Best year model truck ever made. Strong and dependable
How the heck do you guys stay so clean? I get up under my truck and I come out looking like I walked through a coal mine

Organized and also they’re working on brand new trucks. There is also probably a lot of breaks you don’t see after editing

There’s problems with anything if u wanna be nitpicky enough and 4l60s do just fine unless u put more power behind it than it had stock

My 06 2500hd cleared 35s with a level. My k30 does the off-roading though.
That looks like some bad axle wrap waiting to happen.

In the video, Stacey states they chose blocks over leafs. I assume that choice was based on what Superlift was willing to give them for free.
The worst part is they stacked blocks on top of blocks! You'd be ridiculed for that now that most people know better. Hahaha

So you installed this lift for the mall if i understand you correctly?
@@tone3560 No the closest mall is over a hour and a half away so I don't go. I don't need that much lift but it would be fun to have.
