[@gavendavis8]

How do I get my new shocks in

[@fishingwithfant8785]

Chillin in da backroadsssss😂

[@user-vg8sb3bq8d]

What about the socks why u didn’t put it back in

[@adrianponce786]

You mentioned getting longer shocks how can I find them or search them up I’m avoiding the use of shock extenders plus I need new shocks anyways thanks !

[@ChristmanGarage]

I would recommend an aftermarket company like rough country

[@javierhrz260]

Put one of these on my 1998 sierra 2wd and it makes a loud noise when going over bumps. Do I need to adjust my shocks or something?

[@ChristmanGarage]

Very possible we had to extend these shocks

[@camgooden5345]

You now need ball joint spacers for angles

[@Fadedbrade69]

Hey man I got a question about stacking a 3 inch puck just like the one in your video on a 6 inch lift kit I’m having some machine work done to the puck so it will fit in my 6” lift puck already in there.

[@Fadedbrade69]

I was wandering if you can stack two of those pucks together on one side as long as it worked properly and fit on the coil spring correctly?

[@ChristmanGarage]

don't see why that wouldn't work as long as it doesn't put anything in a bind@@Fadedbrade69

[@jacobf.4884]

Hello good sir, hoping you can share a bit of advice. Starting off, I had recently installed a similar lift kit to yours. It was a MotoFab 3” for my ‘05 Silverado 1500 2WD. I had also installed Rough country extended shocks to alleviate the pressure. My question is this: did your coil springs touch or almost touch your front shocks when the truck was at rest? My driver side has about 1/4 inch clearance on the inside and my passenger side has about 2mm clearance on the inside. Wondering if you had the same issue and how it’s held up for you. Thanks for the vid too!

[@ChristmanGarage]

Yes the clearances are very tight. I’ve never been too fond of these kits because of the clearance issues and as far as how it’s held up I did it for a friend and he hasn’t had any complaints yet and he has put many miles on it. Thanks for the comment👍

[@kacopb17]

Hi Jacob, were you able to get more clearence?

[@tonomatias4199]

Master, where did you buy the leveling kit? Thanks for sharing the vid

[@ChristmanGarage]

I think my friend bought it from eBay not sure😕sorry

[@codm-painful-3155]

I got a question can you just do the front and not the back or do you have to put the kit in both or can I just get longer shocks and the spacers for the front

[@codm-painful-3155]

And do I need longer shocks or just spacer for the shocks I have

[@ChristmanGarage]

Yes you can just do front not a problem

[@froe31061]

Are those 3" front spacers?

[@ChristmanGarage]

I didn’t order them so I’m not sure what they are labeled but they are actually about 3” which in turn raises the truck closer to 4”

[@chrizflorez2425]

Will coil spacers wear out ball joints more? Etc etc

[@ChristmanGarage]

They do put the ball joints at a different angle but I wouldn’t think they would wear out any faster than normal

[@CallMeAdam2023]

Coil spring spacers won't cause any more wear to the suspension components. Now if you use wheel spacers, thats a whole other animal

[@brianturner5812]

I did it and I can not get my shocks back in it’s a 3 in for the front. In order to get it in I’d have to bend the shock. How would I fix that

[@darkrainaldo3911]

I have the same problem did u ever resolve this issue ?

[@kacopb17]

Did you guys finally solve the issue?

[@candyman721]

With that much pressure on the spring, does it change the way it rides?

[@ChristmanGarage]

From my experience in installing leveling kits on many vehicles. Yes they always ride stiffer in the front

[@matthewhenry4708]

I can’t get the shocks to fit because the spring is to bent do you have a link to the shock extends so I can try them but lift shocks are to big around so they hit the spring and If not is it safe to ride without shocks and can I get it a alignment with no shocks

[@ChristmanGarage]

That’s unusual I’ve never had that issue? I fabricated the shock extenders with some bolts and a welder. And to answer the question is it safe to drive.. You can drive it but it may be very bouncy and unstable and yes you could get it aligned with no shocks the shocks don’t affect caster or camber.

[@matthewhenry4708]

@@ChristmanGarage ok thanks

[@josemcalvillo7617]

​@@matthewhenry4708i get 3 in long shock from rough country 100 bucks

[@ZackaryLyons]

@@ChristmanGarage I’m having the same issue with my spring being to bent and I’m not sure it’s safe to drive without shocks what should I do

[@ChristmanGarage]

@@ZackaryLyons your probably gonna have to buy some longer shocks or make some extenders 😕

[@eddieflores6669]

How do you put the block on the rear I just bought it and would like it know

[@ChristmanGarage]

Remove u bolts separate rearend from leaf springs put the blocks in and install new u bolts pretty simple👍

[@seanoosman5923]

Will this fit a 2000 2500 2wd

[@ChristmanGarage]

Not sure but I would guess a 2500 would be different 🤔

[@FlawlessVictory-fv8zn]

Name of song from the beginning of your video ?

[@ChristmanGarage]

My son playing chilling in the backwoods on the guitar

[@rhec4102]

Thank you for helping me today daddy I really love your sweetness

[@ChristmanGarage]

No problem👍

[@matthewhenry4708]

How much do you charge for this

[@ChristmanGarage]

I normally just do jobs for donations but if I did charge it would be about 3 hrs of labor probably about $120 not including parts👍

[@matthewhenry4708]

Do you live In nc

[@ChristmanGarage]

@@matthewhenry4708 yep since I was 1 year old

[@thelwthelw]

@@ChristmanGarage I know it can be a pain in the ass to do this job. So $120 for labor is actually a great price!
