    I just did this to my 2004 gmc sierra 2500hd 4wd. After watching the video 50 times I said no thanks, lol. I'd rather take to shop and work it off. $820 later with 2 inch rear spacers and alignment.

    Why can’t you just make a torsion bar drop so I can install it on my RC 3.5 torsion lift?

    I can turn a wrench, but I’ll let a shop do this one since cutting of the frame and everything else is necessary.

      @@MobilEyes I have since checked a suspension job and cut off my list 🫡 it’s way more intimidating than it is difficult, that being said. I definitely measured twice to cut once lol. Thanks for the support though. 💪🏻

    Is it possible to do this with jack and jack stands or do I need to bother my friend for his car lift?

    new C.V. Axles but no new control arms?

    • @Truckspring
      @Truckspring  6 лет назад +1

      The original CV axles are typically re-used with this kit. In the installation video they were replaced due to condition issues. Lifted control arms are not necessary because the design of this lift kit uses a sub-frame drop and a lifted knuckle to keep the control arms close to a stock position.

    • @pat14lang
      @pat14lang 6 лет назад

      i didn't mean aftermarket control arms. from the looks of the condition of the control arms, why not replace them when installing a new lift kit? or replacing any other steering/suspension components...based on the age/condition of the vehicle that is

    • @Truckspring
      @Truckspring  6 лет назад +1

      In this install the upper control arms and the CV axles were replaced due to issues with condition. It is always advisable to replace any worn suspension or steering components as soon as you discover they are worn. Despite the appearance of some components they were not worn at the time of installation so they were not replaced. @@pat14lang

    • @Truckspring
      @Truckspring  4 года назад

      The rates will vary with your local market. Rough Country provides average install times for their kits. Ex. This kit 27220a has an average install time of 8 - 10 hours. You can contact your local shops and inquire about their labor rate and they should be able to give you an estimate.

      Rough Country kit 25370 fits the 1999-2006 Silverado 1500 and will not fit a 1997 K1500. Kit 27630 fits the 1997 K1500's.

    Can the this kit be left at 4-4.5" or is it a full 6" only kit.? I have heard other kits advertise as 4"-6" lift.

    • @Truckspring
      @Truckspring  4 года назад

      This kit is only a 6" leveling lift. It does not offer the option for a lower height. Depending on your application we may have a 4" lift available instead if you are interested in a lower lifted height.

    Do you need a vehicle lift? Or would floor Jack stands provide enough clearance for installation?

    • @Truckspring
      @Truckspring  5 лет назад +1

      This lift can be done on jack-stands. It will take some extra time and you will want it supported by the frame but plenty of installs on this kit have been done without a vehicle lift.

      The brake dust shields can be retained and installed on the new knuckles.

    • @Truckspring

      This 27220A kit will only fit up to 2007 models so it will not work on a 2009. The Rough Country 23630 is a 6" lift that will fit a 2009 Silverado 1500 Hybrid 4x4.

    Could you estimate the labor hours to install this kit for a skilled mechanic?
    Can you estimate the hours for an idiot with a wrench?

    • @Truckspring
      @Truckspring  4 года назад

      Rough Country estimates the installation at 8 - 10 hours for a skilled mechanic. It would be safe to double the hours if you do not have experience.
