I don’t understand how you were able to line up the knuckle so easily. I supported the knuckle with my jack but the angle was so far off and the knuckle didn’t have any play. Either way I got the new arms on, rides so much better
I probably cut out plenty of clips of me under the truck fighting with it. Lol i don't remember though. I've definitely struggled with control arms when something is connected. Everything a little loose helps. glad you got it going.
Thank you!! Love the long bed and 3500 of course as yours is basically the same other than engine! Hope it goes well for you. I'm replacing lower control arms now, ball joints aren't budging and the lowered diff impedes with the through bolt removal. But what else is new! Have fun bud.
Thx for not using power tools, need to go replace my sons control arm out in the sticks and I’m an old school air tool guy. Hand tools only, looks like np, hopefully anyway🤣
Thanks. I don't see the same arms on the rc site anymore, I'm only seeing arms for a 3-4 inch lift. Maybe a distributor still has them. They're for a 2" lift/level, which is what I have with different keys.
How much of a gap do you have between the new arms and bump stops now? I have a 2016 Duramax and the stock arms on it are like 1/16" from touching it even on level ground.
I went with Ready Lift I put a leveling kit on my 2016 Dura too and it sat on control arms too. READY lift makes a control arm that's almost 90 degree angle to stop this from happening
You didnt have to use the sleeves that comes with those RC a-arms?
Arms just bolted in, there was nothing additional.

@@WildMountainGarage I changed my tie road first and now feels much better and lower ball joint

Totally do-able, hopefully he's not in the rust belt lol
Awesome make it look super simple.
Hey bud, great video! looking for a model number for the RC control arms you put on?? What size lift do you have?

Definitely more than that.

What is the torque spec you used for the bolts connecting the upper arm to the frame?
Gudentight. Sorry, IDK!
Thanks bro ✅👏🏼
You got it. Glad it helped.
