    Someone is going to get hurt. That’s a jacked up way to get the springs out. Cory, you make it look hard.

    • @rayaguirre4237
      @rayaguirre4237 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Exactly! Using that post while lowering the lift is not safe. Corey, remember when a new truck almost fell on you off of a lift? And we wonder why. We DO NOT want y'all to get hurt!

    You can put air bags in place of the front coil springs. For the dash I use to pull it out get a can of spray glue and put whatever cool fabric I picked out just laying it on and cutting and folding the edges . My old SB was all zebra print.

    My dad the service manager at Chevy dealer call it a Generic Made Chevy. He also said he’d get new Chevy trucks with GMC tailgates on them. When he was doing this in the 80s he told me that they built both trucks on the same line.

    I did a flip kit on the rear and when we were done we got thirsty,so we popped the tail lights on the frame and ended up in a watering hole down the road,it was myself and 2 buddys who went there and when we were leaving they kept telling me to see if it would hookup with no bed,well lets just say it hooked up ok and ended up breaking the drive shaft and i had to have my truck towed home,thank God i had a buddy who came meet us and drag my truck for me.

    You lowered it more than you think , you just put on larger tires. If they where on for first measurement it would have be higher in front
    Measure the height difference between the 2 sets of tires and add that to your 1 1/2 ...it will be closer to the rear measurement

    The "C " notches are for suspension travel when you load the bed........
    It gives you the suspension travel when you corner or go down the road and you got bumps etc

    Hit the side of the spindle with a big hammer and ball joint will come loose without the damaging ball joint boot.

  • @chuckg3818
    @chuckg3818 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    I've done a lot of GM suspension work in my life... Next time leave the spindle assembly attached to the upper arm. Use a wire and hang the upper A arm from the frame and loosen the lower ball joint nut. Remove shock and sway bar from lower arm. Use a floor jack to compress and get the lower ball joint nut loose and then release pressure and the lower arm will swing down so the spring can come out. Half the work half the time and safer.

    @lolife999 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Front coils have a “D” shaped pocket up in the crossmember that has to be indexed for the coil to set all the way down. I never worry how it sets in the control arm.
    You really need a taller coil spring and a drop spindle. Front bump stops need to be cut down or removed. And shorter front shocks and rear shock extensions for better shock angle and travel with a stock length rear shock.
    You can make these truck ride good , but you have to do more than you did in this video.

    Your rear drop is the total of the flip kit and shorter rear tires. Easier to measure at the center of the wheel to the fender lip.
    1/2 coil cut up front is usually 1” drop.
    Not to be critical,… but you should have watched some TH-cam videos on doing this. There are tons of videos out there to do it safer and easier.

    @rayaguirre4237 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Truck stance looks amazing. To really know how much you lowered it you need to put back the same wheels/tires that it had on when you did the original measurement and then measure. You need to compare apples to apples. After that you can put back those white steelies!
