How to Install 3" Suspension Lift Spindles on 99-07 2wd Chevrolet Silverado

[@robertjohnson3835]

Finally an informative video from someone who is an average Joe and NOT a smartass. Very nice video. Thank you, just what I needed.

[@Gorekie]

Finally! I’ve tired 2 different level kits and nothing works. I 100% believe this is the method for my truck! Thank you again!

[@justingonzalez702]

Oh man you had me at 9:30. I could not understand for the life of me why you were putting the same spindle right back on to the hub.

[@Monkeylots]

Good job buddy, You make look so easy, I did mine and it took me all day long. But I got it done. Good video

[@justingonzalez702]

I agree. Very composed and cool. I drop F bombs every few minutes when I gotta wrench on my truck.

[@acejanitorialservices6559]

Genius idea of hitting the spindle from the top! Killing 2 birds with 1 stone! I never would’ve thought of that in a million years! Appreciate the video!

[@averagerider5533]

Best video for spindles. Thank you it helped me every step of the way!

[@MichaelJohnScreen]

I put lift spindles and 2 inch coils on my 2002 2wd silverado. I bought aftermarket uppers, and the ball joint, and the nut and almost flush together.

[@jeremymiltonify]

"preciate the video! Very informative. I'm doing my sierra this weekend. I can't wait to see how it comes out.

[@Augcliffe]

Glad you did this. I’m doing it this weekend! Wish me luck

[@WhizFlipper]

Good video. You was swinging that hammer like that truck did something to you. 😂

[@robertrone5903]

Your video was very helpful on the installation on my 2wd 02 Silverado. The only thing I found that you don't mention is you need to reroute the brake lines and the abs wires from the wheels. But other than that , thank you for your video it does help.

[@kevinmcgee1754]

What do you need to do to reroute the brake lines?

[@imonaroll9502]

On the 02 ones you have to zip tie the abs wire creatively and you have to use a longer steel braided brake line that you also have to route and zip tie. The stock brake line will not work with this lift. I tried it. ❤

[@nikthepunisher6255]

You're great at explaining stuff. Thank you

[@Tiretrack]

It looked so perfect to me the way you had it but that’s just my opinion great content!

Best video hands down. Thank you man

[@blackhorse11thcav74]

Thanks for the video. I have a 04 Chevy Tahoe 2w drive. I will be ordering the spindles soon.

[@chrizflorez2425]

I’m having trouble putting back on the brake caliper mounting bracket back on. The top bolt goes in no problem. The bottom on doesn’t reach; I’m afraid I got the wrong spindles

[@alfredohernandez9411]

Will the 3”inch spindle level the truck ? Or did you have mods done the the rear suspension?

[@AUSTINFRILOUX]

Awesome, I just installed some 3” spindles on my truck with 3” coil spring spacers as well

Did it lift it pretty good?

[@AUSTINFRILOUX]

@@jacksondoler3370 yea i have a video on my channel

Does it need a front end alignment after or is it within tolerance?

[@rangerismine]

Nice truck! I have a 2500hd that I was able to squeeze some 35s on. My 1500 took a body lift to fit 35s.

[@chriskellywehmeyer3292]

Does it level the truck r still alittle higher in front

[@danielgould9253]

Awesome work on a good looking truck.. 💪👏

[@enochix3502]

Great video, I have a question. I added a 3” lifting block on top of the spring. Yet when I go to add the shock, it will hit the spring for it being somewhat bent idk if from the compression or what. But the shocks will not enter smoothly. Any help?

[@rafaelvazquez7465]

almost bought rough country spindles never thought to look on amazon

[@aaronzavala4336]

I had ordered 99 thru 06 spindles I’m wondering if they will fit on my 08 Sierra im stressing now I gotta return it and get the right ones but they look identical

[@englishc8990]

Nice video,Bub. Explained it very well! I got an 02 but it is about the same I'm guessing. Because you're lifting via spindles and not coil, you don't need longer shocks, right?

[@Fentertainment]

Correct. The spindle doesnt change the suspension any, it just replaces the hub lower on lift spindles or higher on lowering spindles.

[@chaseroberts9584]

This video made me feel so dumb. My pops and I have no idea about spindle lifts and it’s been kicking our ass for three going on four days. I’m going to follow these steps and get my truck back on the road

[@JoelHernandez-pk9vr]

Do you know if you need lift control arms ? No issues with balljoints ?

[@jaydensorrells9600]

Both of my spindles got stuck on the lower ball joint wouldn’t let me take it off so I had to take the rivets out of the lower ball joint and replace it just to get the spindle off

[@lyle7657]

Do you have to put spacers on the back to get an alignment?

[@agustinherrera5600]

Nice video . So the spindles themselves are what lift the truck ? Nothing else needed?

[@somanynamesilltrythis0180]

Man thank you so much for taking the time and making this video. I have an 08 Silverado and I'm getting ready to install my 3" lift spindles but I've never done it before. Even though mines an 08, this is still very helpful. One concern I have is that I've seen people comment on the "final track width", some say 1/2", some say 1". Is it really that much of a difference? I was planning on buying 1.5" spacers for the front and 2" for the rear, that way it evens out.

[@jeremyhuff5047]

Did you ever find an answer to your track width question?

[@somanynamesilltrythis0180]

@@jeremyhuff5047 no, not really. I ended up buying 2" spacers for just the rear, and it looked good all around.

I put spindles on my 2000 gmc 2wd and I’m measuring at 37 inches also but on 265s

[@jessed8046]

Trucks look good. I have this kit on the way for my 2004 1500. In your video I can see the front tire is extended out vs. the rear tire. If someone wanted to square up the stance do you know how big of a spacer would be needed? for the rear 1”? I have a set of the factory chevy rims you took off your extended cab with 33” BFG Ko2. I’ve been doing tons of research and I hope everything fits….😱 what do you think?

[@chrissm757]

Good evening Ryan, great video! Very helpful. I have a question... I have a 07 Silverado Classic 4dr 4.8 and need to replace the front shocks but want to fix that front lean that is bad. Any recommendations you can help me with?

[@Fentertainment]

Your year should have a strut instead of a seperate coil spring and shock. They make spacers that bolt between the strut and frame & strut and lower xontrol arm.

[@chrissm757]

Fentertainment Got it, I will look it up. I appreciate your help Ryan! Keep it up 👍🏼

[@Fentertainment]

@@chrissm757 thank you man!

[@alfonsoalonzo3165]

Just a heads up..if the shocks don't fix the lean which mines was able to do after new shocks (which yours has as well if yours is the classic)..they sell new springs that fix that slight difference in the lean. Believe by Moog..

[@DavidSilva-cc6uj]

Barely watching this. question did u add lift block on the end?

Great video keep them coming 👍

[@jony070889]

Do you have the link to the grille? And headlights?

[@beetee801]

You measured 33 in before and 37 after so you got 4 inches of lift with 3 inch lift spindles?

[@jeremyhuff5047]

How much wider does it track in the front with new spindles? Ive got a set on the way.

[@علاوي-ي2س]

Nice, I have a 2000 GMC Sierra without a double and in front of him, will he ride to him and lift the front of the car?

I could be wrong but doesnt the 07 suburban have coilovers? If so then you might be able to just get spacers for the coilovers and that would be alot simpler.

[@gumby7177]

Blocks

[@jeffalan6339]

Sure looks sharp No more now dive. I bought 1 " coil spring spacer..

[@theredfive]

How bad was the alignment Afterwards?

[@Fentertainment]

Not bad at all. The spindle lift only moves the center of the hub lower than the oem spindle. The suspension wasnt changed.

[@houstoncalderon]

Did you have to get a bigger shock?

[@Fentertainment]

nope. It doesnt raise the suspension. It drops the center of the wheel down in return lifting the truck.

[@chevygang7824]

Looks good about to install mine Do it have rear blocks mine doesn’t ????

[@Fentertainment]

No rear blocks.

[@erniesantillan2505]

Question I have a 05 1500 HD with a 6” lift I want to go Down to a 4 “ Lift but it seems like there is nothing out there because I have a 2wd . Any recommendations? Can I just change the spindle? I do apologize for my ignorance..

[@jaysteez2025]

Question , did you upgrade the shocks ?trying to decide on billstein 4600 or the 5100's

[@Fentertainment]

I did not because the spindle did not extend the suspension or raise the suspension at all. It just lowers the hub mounting point causing the truck to raise. I left the stock shocks in place, rides like factory still.

[@SquareBodyJosh]

Would this spindle kit work on a 4wd I’m curious because this would be a lot simpler than lift keys

[@chrizflorez2425]

So I already have 2 inch coil spring spacers in the front, which level the truck. If I do a 3” spindle, will I have to raise the back?

yes, if you want it to sit level

[@bubbas66]

Nice video although the top part of the lift spindle isn’t to lift it it’s to keep the upper control arm from maxing out the lift comes from how low the hub hole is on the new spindle other than that great video 👍💪

[@user-yi8pf8on6w]

Do you know if they make any pucks or blocks to lift the rear as well? I'd like to go 1-2" on the rear and then level the front from there, Thanks!

you could buy some blocks for the rear

Thanks Man. I had the escalade handles, front grill, bumper cap color matched when I bought the truck.

Are the lowering shackles still on the rear? Did it look squared after putting the lift spindles on the front? I'm about to do this setup to mine.

[@trevdog8582]

I know this is a few years old but are you still running the drop shackles like you installed in one of your previous videos or does it have factory shackles?

This truck is running the stock shackles with lift spindles currently still.

[@trevdog8582]

Ok thanks so much. I have a 2wd 06 im rebuildin this helped me so much sir!

[@trevdog8582]

Does it just have stock shackles or are you running blocks too?

[@robd227]

What are the specs on the wheels you put on that truck? I have stock 17s, but the link to the spindles you posted say no more than 4.6" backspacing and I think the stocks are 5"ish. Just curious because the wheels you have look like stock GM.
