Part 2 of the mini-series! In this video we’ll return the front end to it’s new glory with all the nice matte black Rough County lift parts. You won’t want to miss how this looks sitting on tires again! What a big difference.

My old chevy 4×4 service truck needs more ground clearance to help pull old classic and antique cars and trucks from their grave. I turned to Rough Country who sent over an awesome 6″ IFS suspension lift for this 1989 Chevrolet K2500 truck. I’ll show you how to install these lifts, and eventually, we’ll give it a good test.

Early vice grip. I really like the low production value better and the cheap do it yourself messy dirty garage much better. A lot more relatable.
A guy decided to rewatch all a fella's vidjeos. 8/16/24.
Geez, I’ve never been happier that my truck is an old fashioned straight axle. The lift kit consisted of basically 4 pieces – 2 springs and 2 shocks.
Did you extend your rear driveline?
Love the heads up on the brake line may save a feller an hour or so one day
Really like your video I did a 4.5 inch in my 99 but I went with BDS they guarantee everything yes it's way more money i probably could have just went with RC considering mine hardly ever goes off-road
How many times have I done this before. Using the legs to run the jack. 😅😅
OMgoodness it’s the thigh master technique for jack
Buddy, if you see this… get a motorcycle jack for the transfer case, and anytime you have to do a transmission or anything. you cal just put a steel plate on it if anything is oddly shaped. it makes the single-handed balancing easier, and less likely for catastrophic failure
This is one of my most favoritest videos ever Derek. I bet you're kind of like me now that you're a little bit older and really appreciate those lifts you have in your shop now
Love it man very helpful😎🤟🏼
Thought you sounded like Red Green . Nah…jus' my imagination…then I heard the chainsaws…
Was that you in the o Riley’s commercial?
🙂
Hey Derek, question, how were you able to get the castle nuts tight for the pitman and idler arms on the Rough Country center link? Putting a new front end in my truck and theres not even room for an open end wrench on it.
Do you think it's possible to do the same lift on a c2500?
She's lopsided
Slicker than snot on a glass door knob
A guys tall….so the shelves n drawers are goin be better lol nice reason for a lift 😂 love it
Looks great 👍
@22:53 "do you have clearance clearence"
Great watch .very kniedgable ..
He got his own tv show now called road worthy rescue
She is NOT your old lady!! She is your wife.
I'm trying to reverse ingeneer my lift I'm thinkin its impossible 🤣🤣
how much did you have to cut off of the shock mounts to make that upper drop bracket sit in the frame??
would you know where i could get a 6inch body lift kit at for a 1998 4×4 chevy Silverado 1500? I couldn't use a lift kit that is meant for a k1500 could I? it'll be my first time doing something like this and really didn't know would appreciate it, if you could holler back at me and let me know where you think I could get one at or start looking for one at. Thanks. I ENJOYED THE VIDEO BY THE WAY!!!!
What happened around 10:45 in this episode, Derek? It sounded like you had an Ah-Nold Braunschweiger movie on in the background…I thought that I was the only one who cusses out my p/u in German when having a hard time, lol!!
Classic! "Get your old lady… she's lopsided weight wise…" 8:40
I want to do this on my truck, but bi-anual inspections and near impossible to get road legal without a trip to Germany.
So it’s lifted six inches and you’re head is still above the roof…. Wtf. How tall are you?
Just wondering if you installed a new steering stabilizer and if so what one did you use? I know it a long time ago.
Any possibilities of showing a 2wd body lift?
Seems a solid axle swap would be the same amount of work and way more beneficial.
Super cool video Derek. That truck is going to be awesome. On to the rear.
Really looks good!
👍
CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW THIS BACK GONNA BE BET SHE COMES OUT SWEET AND DIPPED
Do you change the position of the sway bar?
How did you clean up that frame so quick and easy!? What did you use and what did you paint it with?
A great and fulfilling vedio!. Love watching the Day and life of Derek, awesome ❤️
'first dance at grade school.. just wriggle around and you'll figure it out' line was epic.
