5" Lift on 37s | 2020+ Duramax! *2021 Denali HD*

[@elshrek03]

The only thing with rought country is you can't chage shocks to other brand you can only get shocks from them cuz thay chage the Design of the front shocks

[@JM-wn8ii]

Met your parents last night and complimented your dads truck. He told me to check your KZbin channel. Nice!

[@12345678998765432698]

You're right about rough country and bds, ive lifted a few 2020s using both their 6" lifts and they're super similar.

[@KDlGG]

I’ve heard a lot of people say the shocks are the only real difference

[@KDlGG]

I do kinda wonder about the spring rates on the solid axle trucks tho, maybe they’re similar I’m not too sure

[@RoadhogRNA]

Looks really Sweet JW your Dad will like that.

[@tannonrain9469]

A truck with a 6” suspension lift with a 3” body lift is that the same as 9” suspension lift

[@tomnutt6022]

I've used a few rough country lifts the latest was on my jk and the control arm bushings went out quick and I couldn't find r nor did they offer replacement so I had to buy a better brand control arm.

Turned out awesome bud

[@hendrixc81]

Okay. How’d you get it level? Mine has the same lift but sits lower in the front

[@kennethwolkens6251]

Any follow-up on how this truck is working out for your dad? I'm interested in the Vertex shocks but long term reviews are non-existent on them in the 2500 HD space. Current daily driver ride quality and how it still tows heavier trailers is my biggest question. Basically, have the shocks held up?

[@JWMontoya]

As of 10-15-24, he still likes them!

[@catchkcsglide7945]

Hows the ride quality with this 5" Rough Country lift? I see that you've got nicer control arms and shocks on the white Denali... but how did your black GMC ride with the stock RC lift? Asking because I had a RC lift on my XJ Jeep Cherokee and it rode..... rough. Hoping the ride quality is better on a HD Silverado. Thanks.

[@sFvSaucyyD]

Does the whole KRYPTONITE front end fit ok on the 5" RC? They told me they haven’t done enough testing to give me an answer. Just curious.

[@joseramos7476]

Looks good, how much is that kit?

@@JWMontoya Do you have a brand that is better than any other. I want a unit I can trust for sure!

Looks good! Just curious are you running limo tint on your gmc diesel? Not referring to the truck in this video, but your own truck

[@mbetancourt4th]

Does your dad have 3.42 gears, if yes how does the truck run ?

[@nolanbourgeois1419]

In your opinion how wide/ tall can you go with a run and tire set up on this truck with some trimming or an off-road bumper wanting to run 26x14s on 35s or 37s would it be possible on this lift with a ranch hand number ?

[@JWMontoya]

You’d need a 7” kit at least for that offset

[@johnnyclark3633]

Looks great! What size blocks in the back? I like a little squat and was wondering what size blocks in the back for a 5" front lift to make a little squat. Thanks!

[@JWMontoya]

You can always turn the keys up with leveling keys

Any rubbing?

[@christopherdalley411]

The lift looks great. However, using the kryptonite upper control arms versus the rough country control arms from the kit does not really give a true idea on how the roof country kit would compare solely as the kid itself versus a kryptonite suspension kit or BDS. Something to note the real only difference to the roof country kit versus the BDS kit is the $1,000 extra you pay for Fox shocks versus the rough country knock-off shocks.

[@JWMontoya]

Most people with BDS upgrade their UCA with Kryptonite or Cognito so it does give a good idea.

[@caseyddesmond7887]

I'm just curious how much does it typically cost to weight reduce the truck?

[@JWMontoya]

Like removing the spare tire?

[@scottvanessendelft408]

Nice looking Truck

[@anthonyalmaraz4065]

Would you say 22x12 with 35’s look good on a 2020 high country?

For sure 🤘

[@idahomike00]

Those axle angles are kinda scary...

[@aidengreer53]

How does a 2021 already have rust ? Just curious

[@JWMontoya]

They rust within months. Also lived up north for a year with salt on the ground

[@MMikeHD3904]

I got 21 Denali hd, live in Canada, I complained about the under coating for that exact reason, salt on roads in winter ! So the spayed it again, , did much better filling some seems and gaps they missed, on there dime of course, got brand new and crawled underneath for a look , factory cheeped out a bit but dealer fixed it 👍

[@destro513]

The tires under the truck is the way to go. I will never understand this 33 on 20 or 22 by 16 wide look. its just simply horrendous. Tall and under the wheel wells is the way to go. Id honestly crabk down the front if possible to level it. Killer channel btw. You really do good informing about these trucks

[@trevorrogers1592]

is that a 3500 hd?

It's not straight. Got alotta angle. We're the keys cranked? Looking at a 2024 and want a non torsion drop and non track width extension 5' kit. Rough country offers that but the angles are not that good.
