All the khuuuuuuuzzzz saying it can get lower even more lower they want the frame scrapping the floor 💀😂😭🤣
I use a heavy duty angle grinder to cut my bowl takuache bangs. Vatos locos sa!
Where can I get the skinnier lower ball joint nut ? For the Silverado
5:35 “since we’re already in there” is why my wife doesn’t know how much it all costs 😂
What's the rear sawy bar kit? It completely skipped that part..
hello i have a 2014 silverado 1500 5.3L Z771 LT. at the moment the front have 3 inch drop by 2 inch drop spindles with oem coilover springs and belltech struts to give me a 1 inch drop. im leaning on the drivers side. plz help me thank you so much
Except an alignment
What’s up fellas I have a 2010 4×4 Silverado family cab. What kit would I need to drop it
I remember the 90's, yeah the huge fad of race trucks! 🤣
I love that they left in the, wanna do that again?
Many of the trucks fresh off the production line are unnecessarily jacked up, I think I’d just lower the truck to reach a more traditional ride height.
Why didn't you finish project White noise.
The dodge looks better. The Chevy still looks like a fleet truck
CHEVY STARTS AT 8:20
Love this information
I don’t know what y’all thought removing the bump stops was needed. Because when I did my 4"6" drop kit from IHC never took the bump stop cups off, I took the bump stop bushings themselves but NEVER had frame touch rear end at all
I had a 2013 Ram 1500 5.7Hemi and I did the IHC 4"6" drop kit. That was an absolute nightmare on that rear end. Now I have a 2009 Silverado 5.3 Vortec, and I’m about to lower this one with a 3"5" drop. I actually really don’t wanna do a 4"6" kit again
I WILL SAY THIS, THE RAM IS A PAIN IN THE ASS DOING IT IN YOUR DRIVEWAY. With the IHC 4"6" kit you HAVE to cut off the rear brackets OFF the rear end. Itself. That was the most annoying part but I do appreciate dodge doing the rear suspension as they did and the disc brakes in the rear too. And also the IHC Kit you’re able to use the STOCK front shocks and springs. It was just control arm drop cups
You make it look so easy to remove the springs from the Silverado. Mine are riveted in at the front of the spring, can't just unbolt them. And the rear might as well be, too, those bushings are brutal to get free.
Did you needed a 2 piece driveshaft for project white noice. Thanks
What would you recommend to fix the Chevy lean in the front on my 00 Silverado?
The rural end phylogenetically please because fox separately fry worth a heavenly heavy hellish triangle. roomy, clean cast
No “ c “ notch tho? Hmmm pretty sure you need that “c” notch to get full travel of rear suspension
Where are these trucks now? For sale???😀
I think tho may be one of the only vids I’ve seen where they actually stake nuts.
How did the alignment turn out on the Silverado,did u have any camber issues.
Test drive? Hows the Chevy ride now?
Where my takuaches at cuhhh
That Silverado is a nice truck but ur loosing quite a bit of power with that exhaust
No quema cuh
Them truck are not on the ground
All the CUUHHHHH’S are like write that down Patrick!
It should be noted that air springs will level your truck to eliminate squat. This is great for hauling but when towing, it does nothing to distribute weight. That's what a weight distributing hitch is for.
Dropping your truck is like dropping a baby
Man do I love this channel
Alv cuh
I dont like the axle flip on the chevy it puts all the weight on the u bolts instead of the springs
2/4 drop, what a waste. go big or go homeee
Do not buy those airlifts (the 1000's) Yea, they have a warranty, but they'll pop over and over and you have to change them.
When you tighten the ball joints and tie rods you are supposed to hold the ball joint/tie rod in place and only turn the nut. That is why they have the hex on the end. Also you should not hit aluminum to release ball joints and tie rods. They have tools for that. You can use a pogo jack to put the suspension in the position where it will be on the ground before you tighten the bolts.
the new drop spindels are cast iron, the oe are alu, so adding unsprung weight, well that´s not the best way.
but i like the hemi he he

All this nice shit and a harbor freight drill
En lo personal no me gustan las camionetas con suspensión baja… Se ven desproporcionadas, pierden armonía, incluso automóviles qué de fabrica se ven bien, los terminan bajando, quedan horribles…
