Great video I learned a lot about the install. Putting the same kit on my sister's truck next weekend. Only have one suggested, STOP USING THE WORD BASICALLY. It either is or is not it's not basically. Ask any highschool English teacher.
Thanks for taking time to make this video, truck looks badass I am at this very moment working on my 2019 Colorado 2inch leveling kit . I hope to get same results as you. Thanks for your help bro
Thank you so much for the support! Im glad the video is helpful. The truck transformed so much with the leveling kit. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out 🤟
Anyone about to do this project should do a couple of things that makes it much easier... use a impact! Take off the sway bar it makes it much easier, take the calipers off and hang from frame so you don't hurt brake lines. You can't measure from wheel well because front has a higher arch so its an optical illusion. The truck should be measured at rocker panel. That truck is sitting level. I put on 2" Rough country struts and truck rides great! A simple swap and don't have to disassemble struts. I also put a factory 2018 Z71 Silverado block and ubolts in the rear. It fit perfect and was from my Silverado after a lift. I'm really thinking about putting a 1/4" spacer on top of struts to get another 1/2" out of the front. I have 0 issues and my 2022 Colorado LT REDLINE EDITION 4x4 is constantly off road with no problems, squeak or popping.
Thanks for all the tips. I will soon be making the switch to the leveling struts from Rough Country because the ride is not as comfortable and I get a decent clunk from the driver side front going over bumps. I look forward to getting it worthy of the trails again
@RedneckTuners also to get tie rods out just smack the knuckle a couple of times where tie rod goes in. It will fall right out. Taking a few minutes to disassemble the calipers and sway bar help a lot !!! They're just in the way.
@@RedneckTuners yes sir.. I also just put the 31 inch duratracs on but they are only 1 inch wider and a bit thicker.. I kind of wish I went with a 33 but didn't want to be bothered with trimming.. I'm still considering
Little late to the party but a tip for the tie rod ends is banging on the spindle itself around the tie rod. That loosens the tension better than trying to hit the actual top of the threads through the spindle
Its definitely possible but i tried my best to support the lower control arm somehow throughout the process. If you are careful you should not have any issues
@@GUYS.ROD823 I would say the front end was definitely more stiff than before the kit but it was not bad quality at all. I put about 20k miles on this setup before I sold the truck and I had no complaints.
Worn shocks actually sag from original factory height because the spring (for fronts) and the actual absorber wear out and do not rebound like they used to. My truck has over 100k miles and the difference in rebound, height, and comfort was completely noticeable.

Looks great! I did the same! I'm about to do the 1 inch block in the back
Thank you!! It transforms the truck completely, im considering a block as well 🤟

@@ryank9910 nice! I got a new set of wheels and 265/70/17 tires to match. I love the ride and not having to trim at all
@@RedneckTunersThanks Man
Appreciate the effort. Thanks for the video. I now can do this on my own.
No problem! Happy wrenching!
Great video. I will be doing this soon.

Great video sir thanks.does the suspension system from 2015-2022 is the same??🌹
Yes they are! All the same except for the zr2 models but its just a different strut.
crazy how much a leveling kit does
Can I have the link to where you got the leaving kit
What are you getting in mpg now that you leveled out your truck compared to what you got before.
19-20 mpg right now. I used to average about 22mpg
Is there any danger of pulling out the inner CV joint with that spindle hanging down so low?
Its definitely possible but i tried my best to support the lower control arm somehow throughout the process. If you are careful you should not have any issues
did you notice a decrease in ride quality after installation?
@@GUYS.ROD823 I would say the front end was definitely more stiff than before the kit but it was not bad quality at all. I put about 20k miles on this setup before I sold the truck and I had no complaints.
@@RedneckTuners thankyou so much for reply
what size tires are you running
265/65/17
@@RedneckTuners are you getting any rub at full lock out?
Shocks do nothing for ride height..unless there air shocks
Worn shocks actually sag from original factory height because the spring (for fronts) and the actual absorber wear out and do not rebound like they used to. My truck has over 100k miles and the difference in rebound, height, and comfort was completely noticeable.
