Installing 3” lift spindles on my 2wd silverado

[@James-qm5dk]

Just take the whole brake caliper bracket off and you don’t have to remove the pads or anything, as long as you don’t press the brake pedal they will go back on easily

[@jamesbuckner9497]

The guy at rough country lift kit told me I couldn’t put the spindle lift kit on my truck like yours i’ve just had it sitting in my closet in a month ago put it on :)

[@AUSTINFRILOUX]

Why he said you couldn’t put it on? Lol

[@TaylorGroce-jd7wv]

is it 2wd, and do u have cast steel uppers?

[@eriksanchez78]

I’m doing the 3in spindles on my 04 Cateye but the front shocks aren’t long enough what was done by you to make them work ? Thanks

[@frnkjones40]

Jack Stands Bro!

[@god5131]

I need to know if the 2wd kits work on 4wd trucks cuz for an 05 Tahoe maxtrac does not make 4wd spindles & I don’t want RC

[@JohnJones-k6d]

Gotta take cv’s out

[@nep639]

Do you run spacers in the back? Since the front pop out more. I do want to avoid spacers. Unless I can run a wider tire in the back only to match the front. 😅

[@dawsonnester5518]

Did you struggle any on the passenger side doing the same thing on my truck we have the same exact truck I'm doing 3 inch coil spacers and 3 inch spindles. my passenger side has to much pressure on it when I bolted my spindle on and let the lower control arm down it broke my brand new moog ball joint on the upper control arm. Had to compresse the spring down in the Truck to even get the spindle to bolt up when I did and let the jack down it broke the brand new ball joint completely. Any idea or tips would be a blessing

Where’d you order your drl ?

good work man... doing this on my sons ram 1500 3'' spindles

[@AUSTINFRILOUX]

Thanks

[@gaelmorales2211]

Were you running the spindles and coil spring spacer ??

[@poormansyoutube686]

Did you have to put longer front shocks?

[@johncrankshaft2886]

Usually for 3 inch and down the spindle is same size physically just moves the hub location down on the spindle itself so no other parts.

[@DAGO16X23]

Nice video, just need to get a close up shot of each piece you need to remove so people who are new to doing this can know what. They are removing

[@AUSTINFRILOUX]

I gotcha

[@caseelkins8997]

Did you have to get a alignment and if so did it fix the tire from wearing on the outside

[@estebobby4953]

Did you need longer brake lines?

[@AUSTINFRILOUX]

No I didn’t

[@dmane_twino]

What the purpose for lifted spindles want to maybe put it on a tahoe 07 4wd wit 3.5 struts or do I need them or naw?

[@lgalloblanco]

What tire size are those? What tires are you planning on buying?

[@c.badalucco]

never seen suspension parts come off so easily 😂 clearly this was taken apart beforehand, if it wasn't you need to bolt check that truck

[@smoky407cdd]

So my question was did you need to change the shocks and Springs but I guess not

[@PhilTooTrill]

I’m about to get a 4.5 inch lift so that’s a 3 inch spindle
