2007-2018 Silverado Rough Country 3.5" Suspension Lift Kit w/o Upper Control Arms Review & Install

[@idahomike00]

I got this kit for my 2015 silverado 1500. I got the upper control arms and full coil, no spacer. Looks and feels great. No complaint. Whole kit was around 800.

Could you direct me where you got yours from but for an 18 1500 4wd ?

[@idahomike00]

@@creolekolbytv I get all my stuff from custom offsets. Customer service is amazing.

The rear differential will always remain the lowest part of your truck so the only way to actually get for ground clearance is bigger tires. Lift kits just make the body higher, but rear diff stays the same.

Better get the control arms. I did it without an in 30,000 miles the ball joints went out. My truck is a 2016 1500 and the alignment shop had to run the camber adjustment all the way out with stock control arms and still barely got it within spec I would highly recommend spending the extra $275 and getting there control arms like I had to do.

[@B20Sancho]

can i run a stock wheels with the control arms? i have a 2011 gmc sierra with 35 inch tires on 18 inch gmc stock wheel. but i heard you need wider wheels to fit control arms?

[@brycespannhake9473]

chrisgarrett6820 which control arms were they?

[@mil086]

Great video! A bit of feedback: slightly turn down the volume on the music so it isn’t as disruptive. I can hear your information clearly but it would help in the delivery so it isn’t as distracting.

[@AmericanTrucksChevyGMC]

We appreciate the feedback! I'll pass this along to our editing powers here at AT! Thanks! -Adam

Nice GMC. I think it would look a lot better with the painted section of the wheels painted to match the truck. I have a question, why is it necessary to remove the strut and install the top spacer? Instead of just a thicker spacer at the bottom? That would make the job so much easier. That and I don’t understand how you can go through all that work and not replace all the shocks with the best brand you can find? Even to go with a quality longer strut/coilover? That would add more travel along with the lift? But especially in the rear where it’s so much easier! That would make a real improvement on the dynamics of the Truck!

Will 295/70/18s fit (34" tires") with zero offset wheels and little plastic trimming?

[@SSAutoDetailing2]

I put 3.5 rc full lift kit with 33x12.5 and had to trim

[@dani_c7.5]

How long would it take if there is two people

[@navarrolaurent7548]

hello I have a 2016 crew cab silverado LTZ I have a rear suspension problem appreciably its also affects the front I have my bed box which leans enormously on the left side at least 2 inch with a large gap on the suspension blades that do I have to ??

[@John___Dough]

Will this work on a 2 wd

[@freshlystealthy45]

What do the front spacers measure in height

[@leandrozuniga9683]

What’s the front spacers measurement? 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch?

[@AmericanTrucksChevyGMC]

The front spacer will bring the nose of the truck up 3.5 inches.

[@injunboy89]

yeah I'd still do the control arms

[@chevyt65ful]

Do you guys do anything for the 2003-2006 Silverado trucks

[@TruthCalledHate]

Are the blocks made of plastic?

[@BeNice524]

No

[@jedmelton4088]

I have a 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 , I have 17x9 rims with +12mm offset. can I run 33 12.50 17 with this kit with minor trimming? or should I run the crappy 285/70/17 they call for?

[@BIGJBIGEBIGC]

Why skip out on the control arms? This is just a poor mans lift

[@chevyon37s]

Josh B it's not even a lift the lower control arms don't get dropped and no lift knuckle or drop for the upper control arms. This death trap is just an over extended leveling kit

[@BIGJBIGEBIGC]

Also come on American Truck, do some real modifications like a super charger, Baja suspension

[@lancebowman4832]

Does anyone know who makes those rims?

[@brianbernauer1708]

Fuel

[@gcrauwels941]

Upper control arms on anything over 2.5" IMHO.

[@gioromito1753]

Haha I have 33.2" tires with just a 2.25" leveling kit. 2011 1500 silverado

[@pat14lang]

Not very professional (claw foot hammer being used?). I would HIGHLY recommend not using this lift. Suspension geometry on the front is HORRIBLE, specifically the BJ angles.
