Installing Rough Country's 7.5" Tahoe/Yukon 07 & Up Suspension Lift Kit

[@JBWization]

This is the coolest thing Ive ever seen. A manufacture installation video to the public, so stinking awesome! I wish more companies would produce videos like this because I'm such a visual learner. Thank you for posting this!

[@mojolojo8605]

i wish all diagrams were like this awesome!!!!

Do I have to drill a hole on the lower control arm for the sway bar links

[@daviddavis3619]

Where can I get torque specs for all these bolts for reassembly

[@dalejohnson143]

Why does this video not show that you have to cut the drivers side lower control arm bracket? Is that something that came about later? Just curious why this one does not mention it and the Aug 2013 video shows that it has to be cut.

[@slidenthru9203]

@ 1:11 they tell you to cut it so if your not handy with a grinder then let a professional handle it...

[@chevyredneckguy487]

You should make a 6 inch suspension lift for 1975-1987 chevy pickups. 2wd half-ton

[@boost1728]

Excellent. Now how do I get the rear coils to stop popping out? And what do you suggest to stop shredding CV’s every two weeks?

[@RoughCountryTV]

What is your front and rear ride height measurement from center of the wheel to the fender and has it been aligned?

[@alexklein455]

What do you mean they pop out?

[@boost1728]

@@alexklein455 the shock extends longer than the length of the spring; under a lot of articulation, the rear springs just.... fall out. Like to replace the coil you don’t have to disconnect the shock or anything. You just jack the frame off the ground and the rear will say enough to pull the springs out... not a good thing when you’re rock crawling. I don’t want to use limit straps because I don’t want to limit it’s ability to travel.. that defeats the purpose of building the truck. But I do need to keep the coils in place, and this should’ve been part of the initial design. I even bought 2” spacers to help close the gap but it still isn’t enough. I’ve been getting into more high speed stuff and I just can’t do anything with the truck because every time I get any air the springs literally just fall out.

I followed this step by step and for some reason my cv driver side axle broke as I rode up the street...so everyone please help me ....

[@elcuhemanuel]

After installing a 7.5 inch lift kit from y’all on my 07 1500 suburban . My transfer case is giving me a metal scraping sound when the front drive shaft is attached . Replaced drive shaft and front diff thinking that was the issue but narrowed it down to the transfer case . Which was fine before the lift and had plenty of oil in the transfer case . Wondering if I needed a spacer or something for the front drive shaft

[@213raffi]

I’m having the same issue. I installed lift then the scraping noise started when I let of the gas

How does the abs sensors fit on the lifted knuckles do i need to drill holes for them ?? If i bought the lifted rear shocks do i need to use the shock extender for the back?

[@calvinarmster3796]

How many does this it take to install this lift on a 09 Chevy 1500 ?

[@jasongreenwell2872]

Will this work on a 2007 with auto ride?

[@manuelcamposjr1596]

Will this kit fit for the Yukon Denali also

[@stevev6384]

Yup, jus need to do some minor rewiring to extend the suspension height sensor on the strut. The wire harness won’t allow you to reconnect the sensor with the strut spacer

[@williamames3940]

I have a 4 inch lift from you guys,but my front end is lower than the rear how can I get the front of my truck up it's a 2004 Ram 1500 4x4

[@20tea]

Leveling kit maybe?

[@tabithabrewer1690]

Can you tell me or suggest which sway bar drop brackets I need for 04 Tahoe

[@shawnbeach1421]

What about the air ride self leveling in the rear? What do you do about that?

[@mrnotnomis]

Not sure if you still need info, but when based on this, it looks like it's not affected. You re-use the same shocks and they are bolted to the relocation bracket at the bottom. So there's no change to the top part of the shock or the travel length. Theoretically, you can use the air ride shocks with this kit. But I am just random internet dude with a driveway and a wrench, so take that as it is.

[@lolomorales5266]

Nice video bro 👍 ....question how many piece is in total?

[@RoughCountryTV]

We do offer a 2" leveling kit for a 2004 Trailblazer. Check out our website for more information.

[@loop2962]

Is doing the 5inch lift for this same model the same thing as this?

[@jsti6720]

Do I need to get bigger upper control arms? I bought new ones but they are OEM and they are adjusted out as far as possible and still will not push out the camber anymore. So my tires lean in at the top. I appreciate any help. 2008 Tahoe 2wd

[@jakes9111]

Did you ever figure this out? Same problem… thinking about going with a uni ball control arm from fab tech

[@TheGydrunks]

Same here

[@jakes9111]

Update * I went with fabteech uni ball upper and was able to get enough adjustment to make it right that way. I’m really not impressed with this lift and kinda wish I never bought the truck. Can’t keep sway bar links on it they are breaking left and right. Rebuilt the whole front end and it’s still not perfect. Weird pops and groans, the rear axle isn’t even centered. I wish I would have got a stock tahoe and went a different route.

[@randyhooper2837]

Does cutting the bump stop off the frame create potential for the frame bending?

[@RoughCountryTV]

Absolutely not. That is not a concern whatsoever when trimming that piece off or we wouldn't recommend doing that.

[@HaydenAlbarado]

Just helps it ride better most off the time when stock your uppers are hitting that and riding a groove into it making your car ride bad

[@randyhooper2837]

@@HaydenAlbarado figured it out. Ive already built and sold my Tahoe lol

[@HaydenAlbarado]

@@randyhooper2837 😂 wyg now man

[@williamdae8984]

So do you need to cut the tie rods and tie rod ends?

[@RoughCountryTV]

Yes 3/8" off the tie rod and tie rod sleeves. That step is noted in the install instructions.

[@kingofhearts4395]

Would I have any tire rubbing problems running 35x12.5x20"x9" factory rims with the 7.5 lift on a 08 GMC 1500.

[@RoughCountryTV]

Yes you would. As noted on the site you have to run aftermarket offset wheels on that kit due to the lifted knuckles that are included in the kit.

[@randyhooper2837]

Are there any instances where the drive shaft would have to be replaced?

[@RoughCountryTV]

No. This kit retains the stock shafts and axles.

[@Mid-Valley-Clean]

I'm curious I have fule rims but they are 17x9 and the kit says only 18 and up wtf!! so I have to buy a different kit then?

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Darren Kampstra This kit requires the 18 or larger wheels due to the lifted knuckle. The 17 obviously will not work. You would either have to go with larger wheels or a smaller kit that does not have a lifted knuckle.

[@dannygarcia8130]

I recently added a 7.5 in rough country lift to my 07 suburban. Now my truck has wandering issues. Changed out everything in the front and still swerving not swaying big differences. Any suggestions???

[@RoughCountryTV]

Has the vehicle been aligned?

[@theman563]

Danny Garcia Get it aligned at a 4 wheel parts if you have one near you. Or somewhere where they align large lifted over sized tire vehicles all the time. Dont expect an everyday mom n pop shop to align it correctly. Computers usually wont do the trick anymore after you get a lift.

[@Mario_Lopez34]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 every lift kit needs re alignment even the leveling kit

[@averyrabbit103]

Will this kit work on a 2007 Yukon Denali awd?

[@RoughCountryTV]

No it is not compatible with the AWD Denali

[@20tea]

Rough Country , ok so why the lack of lift kits out there for the awd? CV shafts too pricey and or the auto ride a problem? I got the 6.2 and found after i got it, not many lift kits are available. Awd is ok, I'm using it to tow a jeep so hard core 4 wheel not necessary. Guess a leveling kit and body lift for me then. What's up with the Escalade getting lift kits though? Denali the same right?

[@derekchipman1653]

This will work same as it did on my Escalade you just have to buy rough country’s dual cardone front drive shaft. They have it labeled under the Denali truck. As for auto ride you just have to extend the front sensors and extend the wires on the shock plug so that it will run through the strut spacer to still plug in. As for the rear sensor you just have to move it up the tract bar till it’s back at its original height. Hope this helps.

[@colebayley9923]

[@jsr3793]

Wait. So it's a lift without increased suspension travel.

[@RoughCountryTV]

Yes the suspension travel increases with this kit that is why you get the crossmembers and added accessories. You gain ground clearance and ride height.
