Where can I find that exact front windshield visor?
That one looks really nice.
I wish you would have mentioned to adjust the head lights when these kits are installed. People (who raise the front) don't care because they are not on the receiving end of the headlights, (now in the windshield or mirror of the poor bastards around them at night). Just saying!
What a fucking moron
How does it keep the factory ride? It seems like putting torque on the torsion bars is the same thing no matter how it gets there
First time I see the shock extensions installed!
I drove a few Tahoes that rode rough, but one with Z71 rides nice. A 2500 HD with Z78 package rides rough, but others ride smooth. Adjusting the 2500 with the Z78 to leveling as in the video did not improve the ride, but it is not in contact with the limiting rubber block as when stock. Some people say it's the shocks that make the Chevys ride rough, but I did not change mine.
And in 40k miles, the whole front end will need replacing, at around 2k
thank you so much Larry, I'm just assuming and we all know what happens haha but i just thought with the original 1/2 bar it would ride better.i found a set at a salvage yard for 125.00 so not too bad,but if i can save money and not buy it,better,yes i am definitely going to call you,it might be on the 3rd though when i get paid ok,I'm restoring my old truck and already tapped out for this month ok.but leveling it will be the next project so i will give you a call at the end of this month talk to you then.take care
What about maintaining the “z” height?
The rake is there because its an empty truck bed lol put some weight in it and it will drop 2 inches
Why are you measuring from the fender flares. Some trucks have a higher front wheel cut out.
Sounds like it needs new torsion bars and leaf springs too.
What about lowering the differential? Shouldn't that be lowered about an inch to keep the CVC joints at the correct level?
James Flinn Don’t think that really starts to become an issue until 2.5”-3”+; and at that point, you’d probably need upper control arms as well.
Your cv axles arent at a critical angle at 1.5/ 2 inch lift. It becomes more critical as it gets into the 3 inch plus.
will leveling the stock keys 2 inches affect ride qualilty
what the tire size going for very similar set up. thanks for the info
I have a 2001 Sliverado 1500HD 2WD. My father bought it of the showroom floor and put 265/75r16 on the factory rims. I just bought the truck and put the factoey 245/75R16 back on it the truck to see my gas consumption might improve since im not driving across prairies and back roads. What size tires are on the truck in the video?
What size tire is on that truck?
I think I will keep my Blazer the way it is ! it's high enough to fit my needs !
Thanks kermit
Very similar to companies that sell fishing gear. They aren't interested in catching fish, just fishermen.
this is great news to me,i have a 1995 K1500 Z71 with a Fabteck 6 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift,ok no big deal yet,but long time ago,my friend said hey you can get a lift with 1 ton torsion bars cranked up,ugh it rode terrible,then i went down to a 3/4 ton so thats what is on it now,its got the rake in front,do i need to first obtain OEM half ton bars original for truck and then buy your products? I'm on a tight budget,but disabled with blown dic's i really can't even drive the truck its so rough,i need help sir.whats the best route for me.i do plan on calling y'all .
Give us a call and we can discuss options, but with our adjustable maxx cam design we can offer you a solution no matter what torsion bar you are using. Call and ask for Larry 888-629-9226.
do u need to get an alignment after u install this kit?
Any time you change the suspension ride height a wheel alignment is needed to adjust / check proper toe setting
Yes just dont crank your stock keys all the way up I did that years ago and fucked my front suspension up after 2 years of riding on the bump stops
Infinitely adjustable. Not sure he mows what infinity means
He's referring to infinite degrees of variability between max and min.
Im still turning my bolt, its been 10years now. Atmosphere is thin up here
You keep using this word. I do not think it means what you think it means
Do you know what infinite means?
Infinitely adjustable. LOL. Its built that way for a reason.
What size of tire it’s that ??
can you do this on a 99 tahoe 2wd?
I've owned them all and they ride so rough is this system any better?
+WWT Its all about what ride height / amount of lift you are looking for. Yes in general the maximum lift gives the firmest ride. But if the kit is over elevated by not checking upper control arm gap, the suspension will have No Downward Travel. This will result in a very harsh ride. Lets say you want 3" you can have your 3" at a firmer ride than set at a 2" or 2.5" of lift. When properly installed and adjusted the ride may feel 10-25% firmer, but depending on personal preference. Some customers do not like a truck from the factory that has soft sloppy ride and handling characteristics of the 99-07 1500 GM, others expect a Cadillac ride form a lifted 3/4.. So ride is completely subjective.
Do you have to get an alignment after install?
yep
Changing torsion keys MOST DEFINITELY does not maintain factory ride!!!
guy he lifted it
My '97 K1500 Silverado most definitely rides better than factory with the maxx cam system. I also swapped out the stamped lower a arms with the forged ones which also allowed me to use the bolt on shock extender bracket shown in this video. On the upper arms I mounted the ball joint underneath instead of on top to lessen the angle and maintain that quarter inch air gap. If only they offered a front diff kit to reduce cv angles a bit. Larry is very helpful and a joy to deal with. Thank you Suspension Maxx!
Chrome door handles & gas door are cheesy
And again you don’t measure from the ground. You measure from the lip of the rim of the truck.
what does that matter. i measure all four on level ground....its the same.
@@mrcontroversy222 all ground is not completely level. Wow
@@jasond513 well no shit ya idiot.
@@mrcontroversy222 im the idiot LOL ok 👌
@@mrcontroversy222 Think about it; when you measure from the hub center or rim lip, you eliminate the variables of tire size or inflation pressure that you’d get from measuring to ground.
nice truck !
What size of tire was this on this truck on the after
285-75-16 Goodyear Duratrac tires
You know how I levelled my Chevy for free? By actually using it to haul stuff other than groceries. If I used your technique, I would look like I wore out my rear end if I carried anything over 100lbs.
🤣
Should've replaced much more than that.
U
👍
Looks like northern rust bucket
Damn thing is rusted to pieces
The Traveler that ain’t nothing
Torsion bar lifts are such bullshit. You’ll be replacing your ballpoints left and right when you change the ifs geometry so severely
You turn them torsions and u gonna screw up front end, trust me!!!!!
You didn’t show us how to do it, wasting time.
I guess these guys can't really give you an answer , it's just smoke and mirrors
You dud "not"show us how lol
Of just get stock 1500 keys for free…. 🤷
