03-06 Silverado Full Suspension Upgrade & Drop (Front)

[@mcsbd5562]

This is exactly (except the drop) what I'm about the tackle on the front end of my 2004 chevy cateye with 352,000 miles . Excellent detailed video.!🤘👍👊 Ahoy fellow Cajun!

[@ByGraceThroughFaith777]

This guy sounds like Joey Diaz, accent and all 😂. The instructions are spot on. Thank you so much for this video. You didn't have to, and it is greatly appreciated!!!

[@jzlharvey]

Yeah…. No. He sounds like a frog leg eating Cajun. Joey Diaz?! WTAF.

[@guymaninu]

Your intro was humorous. Always a good thing.

[@RealDeal458]

Just finished mine on that lower ball joint I took the whole lower control arm off and flipped it over and beat the ball joint out that way. Great video this is what helped me with my ball joints and control arms and springs as well already did my rack and pinion perfect video💯💯

[@samprice9965]

Great video guys! Love how y'all get along, work well together and stay organized. I have a 2002 Silverado 2x4 with a 4.8L V8. I've got 165k on my truck, with the original ball joints, tie rod ends, hub assemblies and rack and pinion. So I'll be doing what y'all did. I hope, wish and pray that you guys are your families are staying Covid free.

[@marceauxracing]

Thank you!

[@BRED23]

My truck need tie rods what else should I throw at it while I’m there before new tires and an alignment. Looking at a Belltech swaybar

[@steveottley727]

You guys done a great job on showing the average mechanic how to put everything back together I hope you make another video

[@marceauxracing]

Thanks!

[@unabonger777]

It's like I was there! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

[@elchulo6743]

Howd you remove the coil spring? It didnt show that

[@lilcajunutuber8130]

That was fun to watch. The fast forward at first tripped me out till I caught along. Thats the blonde in me. I can't wait to help my Son fix his ride.

[@usmc0311]

Damn good video. I need to do this to my 02 suburban. My family and I also frequent to Mexico. I also want to get a single cab one day

[@Adones09]

Every piece of advice is right on. People will Finance Rims and Sound systems and the vehicle will be falling apart. The Only thing I would nit pick, as long as you are swapping things out, is to put in new brake hoses, do a brake fluid flush, as well as a Power Steering Fluid flush. Other than that, Bravo.

[@flow1180]

Any links to the parts or what brands? I have 2007 Chevrolet Silverado classic 4.8

[@ItsGamingMarcHD]

Please give us a parts list ! That would be cool !!

[@tobyhunt4281]

Yeah that would be cool. Have my 03, sitting. Ready to do the work. Figured brakes and new suspension is were to start, then fuel on in to the engine bay.

[@MrJ6789]

How were you abled to get red bushings

[@annacooper8073]

removal of spring without using the jack may cause the spring to damage the truck or yourself.

[@eduardocardenas2957]

I remember putting bigger slotted brakes on my single cab Silverado, the stopping difference was very noticeable. Sadly it the was stolen, I do miss it

[@marceauxracing]

Damn dude that sucks. The new rotors definitely make a great difference tho!

[@matto6483]

You guys... this is an excellent video! Very thorough, great narration too! Thank you so much for making this!

[@brianmarceaux1807]

Thanks

[@delta-theoryarizona4256]

Ive done this many times why am I watching it for fun haha

[@annacooper8073]

you didn't show tightening bolts under load

[@victorgutierrez5826]

Looks easy, but I know is a MASO-JOB....I like also the IMPACT looks with POWER ...put the link , I want to buy one ..

[@kellismith4329]

Very cool truck, nice upgrade

[@coldsause14]

What brand rack and pinion is that? I will have to replace mine soon

[@angelqueen8867]

When you do decide just rebuild a 5.7 that’s all she needs! Nothing to major but power!

[@adriantristan2921]

Is it possible to link everything that was used? It would be greatly appreciated

[@garygordon406]

I want to do the exact same thing to my 2000 Silverado. How do I go about putting together the parts package (knowing what to buy)?

[@punishingwithdabowtie9106]

Hey bro do you have the parts number on everything?

[@JamesPolk-qh3on]

Did U get everything from a1 automotive b/c I didn't c the polyurethane bushing on the website?

[@brianmarceaux1807]

Yes and they were junk. I wouldn’t recommend anything from A1-automotive

[@alanaguirre6550]

You have the link to get this kit

[@StiffiUh]

Idk if anyone still wondering but I believe he said the name of company. It’s 1AAuto they have an actual website too.

[@ari1234.]

Big brakes and rotors on ebay?

[@marceauxracing]

Yep and they work amazing

[@BRED23]

What kit should I buy or do I need to purchase everything separately for the front suspension

[@josephlegocki6750]

i got an 02... these parts the same? great vid btw...

[@VibenBryson]

What size wrenches do I need to remove control arms from frame

[@philipbaptista8576]

My 2004 silverado is the next victim, just put 22 in rims on her rebuilt engine, I love my truck

[@DaveOcto]

Great vid man. I'm doing almost the exact same job on my truck so this was helpful.

[@marceauxracing]

Thanks for watching man! We do it on all of our silverado's and it's a huge improvement!

[@elchulo6743]

Howd the coil spring come out? Isnt it under pressure?

[@lino9168]

hey man i was wondering if the control arms come pre greased or you have to grease them? and how since they don’t have a nipple to grease

[@marceauxracing]

We've honestly never greased them, and they're still on the truck 2yrs later doing great

[@brianmarceaux1807]

They came pre greased

[@kenfigueroa425]

What brand control arms did you buy? I’m going to be replacing my whole front and rear suspension to stock height and bought AC Delco uppers and Moog lowers.

[@davemarriott9332]

“Cuz I can’t stand workin” on nasty sh*t” Frickin’ hilarious……

[@jamesshivers8255]

Assuming I can do this on my ‘05 2WD Crew Cab, can you help me find the parts company? I don’t seem to find it. Please reply with the website. Thank you for this. It’s very well done!

[@marceauxracing]

Thanks for watching! Every thing you see in the video is all ordered off of different vendors from ebay. You can go on and literally just type in "05 silverado 2/4 drop" "2005 silverado drilled and slotted rotors" its a very basic yet effective setup. Hope that helps

[@jamesshivers8255]

@@marceauxracing I’m not planning on doing the drop, just preparing for a swap by improving the stopping! Thx. I’ll start shopping.

[@Jasonps3]

So you don't need a spring compressor for that job?

[@marceauxracing]

No you just put your floor jack under the bottom control arm and start jacking up on it, doesn't need too much tension. Just enough so you can bolt either the top ball joint to the spindle. Or install the shock to hold it. Either way works and is alot easier with 2 people

[@adandelgado5386]

Where did you get the parts and how much was it ?

[@marceauxracing]

Ebay and around $1200 I believe

[@FLSHBAST]

I dont get it, you can just take the spring out like that ? My dad is telling me to wait till he gets home to do it together cause a spring can come out that and possibly kill someone.

[@marceauxracing]

@FLSHBAST yeah just put a jack under the lower control arm, pop your upper ball joint out, remove the sway bar link and slowly let the jack down. Make sure the trucks on jack stands obviously

[@davemarriott9332]

Hey bro, I’m looking on A1 Auto’s site and I can’t find anything like you got from them. Do you have to call them to get the goods?

[@marceauxracing]

They're usually on ebay!

[@suelo_abuelo8066]

Where did you get the hangers for the rear springs bro I need some?!!!

[@marceauxracing]

Ebay!

[@suelo_abuelo8066]

@@marceauxracing ok cool did they work just fine? Cuz I was told they didn’t make them for the 06 by DJM but that’s cool I’ll check it out! Mine are factory welded on 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@marceauxracing]

@suelo_abuelo8066 yep ours were too, we took a die grinder and cut the "buttons" off of the factory ones and the aftermarket ones bolted on

[@suelo_abuelo8066]

@@marceauxracing right on bro thanks I found some on eBay thanks again bro! 😎

[@saintnificent5532]

Great Vid! Do any of your rubber bushing ever creak or squeak?

[@marceauxracing]

We've put this setup on 3 of our reg cabs and none of them squeak at all and they drive super tight like a car. We love it

[@MrJ6789]

Were you abled to purchase those red calibers or did you paint them?

[@marceauxracing]

They actually came red with the kit

[@MrJ6789]

I tried but couldn’t find any red.

[@MrJ6789]

Is it true a new shock has to be primed. Stretching it out and then back a few times before using it?

[@marceauxracing]

@@MrJ6789 we've honestly never done that

[@MrJ6789]
