it's a lot of work, but, you did it calmly, step by step, and well shown, thank you.

[@David-gh9oe]

I just want to agree with Jordan North real quick. This video is better than the one Rough Country themselves made. This goes to show that these companies just care about the sales, not the customer. Here we have a guy out in LA that's using old wheels as jack stands making better content than these multi-million dollar companies. Good job Blue Collar, watching your videos is like having someone right there holding your hand actually teaching you.

I just installed a 6” lift on my 07 classic over the weekend with the help of a friend and boy I do feel for you. Doing that lift by yourself would not be fun. Truck looks good though man

[@donovanwatkins5687]

Very informative! Thank you for the step-by-step. I just ordered a 6” lift for my 2000 Sierra. I replaced everything under the truck and this is my last step before paining it. I have never done a lift and never pay anyone to work on my truck outside of an alignment. Again, thank you!

[@Dakota-ish]

It’s crazy to think that you have been the major help with my truck ! Iv got a move bumper that I watched your other video on how to , me and a buddy who can welp pretty well put it together watching your video over and over along with the body lift ! That’s how we figured out how to get the bumper to sit flush with the grille and headlights . I just dropped the truck off at the shop to get my superlift put on also 😂 if it wasn’t for these videos I don’t even know where the truck would be at today. I’m not putting the lift on but I like learning and seeing basically what is being done to my truck without having to ask them if I can watch putting it on . I simply work too much to have that kind of time to be able to do it myself without the truck sitting in the parking lot for 2 weeks haha I appreciate all your efforts on these videos man ! The truck looks sick with the 37’s ! I’ll make a upload of the truck when I get it back Wednesday to try and show you ! Is there any social media link I could try and contact you through ? Instagram or Facebook ?

[@bluecollarhowto3489]

I am so glad I was able to help you. It would be totally cool to see your truck finished. You can send pics to my email at nskeeter99@gmal.

[@Dakota-ish]

Blue Collar How To do you trust stacking the blocks ? My buddy says it’s a death wish ..

[@bluecollarhowto3489]

@@Dakota-ish Good question Years ago when everything had leaf springs, stacking was definitely an issue. Most companies would use a block and an add a leaf spring back in the day to get the rear lift. It appears today a lot of the companies stack a block on top of the factory block. There are 2 things to look at here. One at least on the gm models their blocks are molded to fit on the perch very tightly, making it very difficult for it to move, even one another on is stacked on it. Two The companies do a lot of R and D on these kits. When they sell these kits to the public they take on the liability if there is a failure. If a failure occurs and someone is hurt or killed and the investigation finds their design faulty guess who is liable. So if they think their set up is safe enough in this very sue happy world then I would think it is good. Now with all that being said, I did find a set of 7 inch fabricated blocks on eBay that I swapped mine out for.

[@Dakota-ish]

Blue Collar How To when I took a look at the blocks I was yea that don’t look too good . I may look up those blocks as well then . I’m disappointed that such a old brand still uses those to lift the back up while Rough country uses their anti wrap blocks .. I was thinking about buying a set of roughcountry Tracbars to eliminate the wrap . But if I could simply buy a better single block and save money why not . May end up buying both .

[@bluecollarhowto3489]

@@Dakota-ish Most companies still stack blocks, not all rough country kits come with the anti-wrap blocks. The best way is to use springs.

Never stack blocks!

This is true about aftermarket blocks. However, the instructions, since the OEM blocks are shaped the hug the axel it is safe to stack them. I was nervous about it at first. So I did some research found out most kits stack the OEM blocks like this.

[@bluecollarhowto3489]

Yea it was odd for me too. I always heard not to stack, how it was in the instructions to said do it like that. I called superlift tech line. They said the factory block is designed to hold the axle so well its safe. So I figure with all the libilty lawsuits they had tested enough and felt safe. With all that said I did replace them with some fabricated lift blocks with ant wrap built in.
