Smittybilt winches / Great BUT / IF they break there are NO Parts. I was told today that the solenoid i need, is in on a 60-90 day back order and not taking any more orders for the part. WHAT! Yea 30' of cable on the ground and NO parts. Fortunatly after tearing the front off my Truck to get to the winch solenoids, Yes you can override the solenoinds on the back side of the solenoid, by pushing in the rod. Been nice if Smittybilt shared this info with me. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Obouisly there going out of business !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking for a new winch................ Can you imagine pulling out cable to save your ass in the MUD middle of nowhere and the winch wont real in.

I did the same swap but driveshaft short did you use a driveshaft spacer? Mine is a 2020 model, thank you

Do not listen to this guy. Nothing he said was correct other than you go to 6 very easily from the 4 rough country

Ihanded the same trick. How did you mount ther amp to the truck. I want to do the same setup.

Nice work! The Hard Trail with the JTs wheelbase takes patience! We have a couple shots of your rig that in our video! Hope to see you again at the Fall Crawl

Spreading bs! The rougher ride comes from the changed angles. You aren't compressing anything with the spacer on top. Measure your coilover with the spacer on and off and you'll see. I quite enjoy my torsion bars lol 😂

How much travel is this lift designed for? Thanks for the review.

When you replace the stock struts with pre-loaded ones it will make your ride stiffer especially if you use your stock coils because your coils will now be compressed at all times giving you a stiffer ride, when you keep the original struts and add an extension (spacer) on top it will keep your original stock ride quality,,,

Do did you get a driveshaft as well?

There is definitely wrong info here. The spacer on this lift does NOT affect preload like a leveling kit would. No different than the extended struts he is running. This because these kits come with all of the brackets necessary to keep everything to factory like spec

where did you purchase them from ?

what is the name of the shocks and where did you purchase them form

Wondering if the results will be the same (smoother ride) if I was to replace the spacers on my a 6” rough country shocks. Thanks

This works even on my gen 3 winch

Thanks for posting this! Just installed this set up on my smittybuilt 9500 and it works perfectly!

Just want to add the outputs of the wire colors of the badlands plug. Yellow-green = hot, black = ground, Blue = winch IN, Brown = winch OUT. Just in case your winch is not color coded to the badlands colors

Any chance you wanna sell that old plastic cover?🤣🤷‍♂️

Link for the 6inch shock?

how’s its still holding up? I’m thinking about doing the same on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator sport. 🙏🏻

Awesome idea but u didn't cover what u did in the rear end

After the conversation did you do another alignment

How about for the rear struts and blocks

i have a 14 f150 with a 6in could i drop it down to 4 with just taking out that spacer and putting a 4in block in the rear? if ever decide to go threw with it

What's your opinion on the ride quality of the suspension?

I know this is stupid cause you literally just said it but what pieces do I need to get to a 6" lift I have the rc 4

So I have the 4 " on a 2000 silverado and wish I went to the 6 do I just need the front amd rear shocks and I don't have springs on the front or rear ..

I want to go the other way around 6” to 4” any tips?

I put the 3.5" on mine and love it. Got the v2 shocks though.

Were did u got ur wich

It’s my understanding that the 4” lift and 6” lift drop brackets and spindles are the same. The difference is the lift blocks

Will the 6 Inch spacer work? If I take out the 4 inch spacer?

I did same thing to my truck , removed the 6inch block and installed 6 inch struts with 1.5 leveling kit on top … check my channel

Can you give me info on how to do this to a Tacoma with a 4" RC lift? Would like to convert mines to 6"

Sweet video I own a Nissan Xterra with an an a hidden winch on a arb bumper winch cable somehow grabbed the control box and ripped it off now I have to relocate switch but will prolly do this instead. Thanks

Thanks brother. I was looking for that video over 6 months to get the answer you just give in few minutes of your time in this video and is clare what I want to do too Thanks again.

Will the corded remote still work if the harbor freight remote dies?

The spacers do not compress the spring. The spacer is bolted to the top of the struts then bolted to the bucket. The ride is affected by altered angles, not spring compression. You do not need a spring compressor to replace struts. Un bolt, the uca and sway bar ends pry down on lower control arm.

Hey do you need too put the 6 inch spacer in the back

I have the same thing but is you’re rear end lower than you’re front still mine is the front is 2 inches higher

I wonder if those shocks will work for my truck same year but mine is a 2wd

Does anyone know if this will work with 120v harbor freight electric hoist ?

10-06-2021 To keep that pin from rusting just squirt some gear oil in there. It won't interfere with the electrical connection but it will keep it from rusting. Or cut a piece off a cotton t-shirt and put it in there to soak up condensation .

Nice vlog. I like that you shared your mods. Could do with a lot less “Uh’s” and repeating yourself. Maybe your later vlogs are easier to watch. Most people just want the people making the vlog to get to the point. That’s just my opinion and I’m sorry if it sounds critical. I do in fact appreciate that you shared your mods.

Another question you have a Ford will it work for a chevy silverado 2004

Hello I have 2004 chevy silverado 1500 2WD with a rough country 4.5 lift kit. Will that same 6 inch shock work for me even tho I have 4.5 lift install

Cool. I’ve got a dirt cheap HF winch and bought dirt cheap generic remote but can’t figure out how to connect it. There is no relay as far as I can tell. 12 volts go into wired remote and when you push the button 12 v goes to one side or the other on winch motor. Anybody?
