Thanks for the video…watched a few where they disassembled just about everything on the front suspension…I was waiting on them to tell me to set the radio to an FM station…open the glove box and roll the windows down😳

[@DeathrashWhiplash]

Nice, it's alot more simple than I expected it to be. Thanks for the video

[@dantheisen1227]

So no need to remove the sway bar, tire rod and upper ball joint awesome! I’m about to install leveling struts on my truck and knowing I don’t have to remove all that will make the job so much easier and faster!

[@132Rryyan]

How did you make out with that install? This is the reason I found this video in the first place so I’m curious to see how it went! Thanks

[@Captwillard]

@@132Rryyan I’m going to attempt this repair tomorrow. I’ll report back…

[@jacklantern6339]

Excellent video. Great details and close ups were really helpful. Thanks, as a relative was just asking me about their '14 Silverado. Only wish Fords were as simple. As a retired wrench, I do most of my own work and some for relatives (only).

[@anthonysmith3648]

Swapped my struts no problem! Really appreciate you!!

[@anthonysmith3648]

@@1AAuto my struts were fully loaded so it was an easy swap but I wouldn’t have known how to do it without the help of you guys. The comment section is full of complaints so just wanted thank you guys again

[@1AAuto]

+Anthony Smith Thank you so much. Your feedback is truly appreciated!

[@lmac3178]

You didn't have to remove the shock? Compress the spring? Looks like an all in one swap. Good 👍

[@lmac3178]

Other vids show that I need to compress spring and insert new shock for a 2015 suburban. If its all in one, them I'd rather go that route. Thanks again.

[@johnurbanowicz9940]

Thank you very much for showing the video it helped a whole bunch 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ragebumpers8116]

Every time the video cuts is when he’s yelling expletive’s. That’s the most important part. If your not dropping F bombs while working on a vehicle then your not doing it right

[@neverontime]

I bought shocks for this yesterday from 1A auto. Somehow they arrived this morning less than 24hrs later. Pretty insane

[@juniorsgarcia4820]

How was it

[@juniorsgarcia4820]

Does it ride smooth again

[@Mikey-wf9py]

Is there a mileage amount these trucks should be replaced or time length??? Mine are not totally worn but a little bit and little crusty 2016 77k

[@HouseWashingRick]

Will this work on a 2014 silverado 1500 Lt 2wd. 5.3v8

[@chrisgoosebrooks638]

Auto part store asked if it’s a magnetic strut or regular? Regular is $$200 magnetic is $900. Any thoughts. Never heard of magnetic

[@gerrybabin5191]

did you change the spring or some come with spring and shock

[@compa_choo]

Thats simple enough. Thought it was gonna be a whole fiasco but looks like just a quick afternoons work

[@713ROBLO]

? When installing the 3 nuts on top are they going to be locking nuts or just regular nuts?

[@snowpatrol685]

awesome video !! i think i can do that. thank you.

[@timlewis2211]

Got a 2015 Silverado 5.3 with a ploy snow plow about 680 lb. Should i change front springs,bump stops or add sumo rubber coil spring inserts? I have 480 lbs sand in back of truck.

[@jamespate4558]

Thank you my friend 👍🏾

[@Draega007]

Does this way work on the 4wd version?

[@user-zb6ez4jl3u]

I think In this video it is a 4wd

[@Myksgarage]

So much easier than the F-150s!!

[@skatenbikee707]

Would this be the same for a 14 suburban 1500?

[@sarahparker9642]

i got new front struts and they are 1 1/2 inches longer then my old ones. same part number..help???

[@markhavens8082]

Why doesn’t anyone show the shock replacement for a 2016 HD 2500 four-wheel-drive Silverado I don’t have springs or struts on mine. It’s just a shock up in there but every video I see on here everybody has struts with the spring around the shock. What’s the deal?

[@bryancaballero8113]

Why some videos they remove the exle lugs and the sway bar link

[@1AAuto]

+Bryan Caballero We appreciate the feedback. Sometimes there are multiple ways to accomplish the same repair.

[@Thefishingplumber]

Wow man your making me wana tey

[@btripodina70]

Thank you !

[@Therealestrunnerluda]

Where can I find replacement bolts and nuts

[@josephhough140]

You didn't even took off the old shock absorber and the coil spring. They are the most important part of the whole process.

[@juanhernandez7066]

You didn’t even replace the shock

[@1AAuto]

+Juan Hernandez Thanks for watching! This video is for the front struts, so we do not show the rears. We do have a video on how to replace the rear shocks for 2008-2016 Silverados here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnKZk2Wbormnf9U&feature=emb_title

[@marcaliventialiventi765]

Wow no disassembly of the entire front end???????

[@MarkKFerguson]

@@1AAuto @jaun Hernandez didn't mention the rear shocks. He said you didn't even replace the shock. You just pulled out the assembly and put it back in without replacing the shock.

[@brickhousestudio66]

Why are you working so hard? Air tools man

[@Morbid_Kustoms]

Your audio levels suck ! turn your annoying music down and make the guys voice louder..

[@1AAuto]

+Steven Strall Thanks for the tip! We'll pass this info along to our production team.

[@aland2253]

Audio is good on my end
