New Weld in C Notch, A little Lower and Finish Back Up Camera Install for the NBS GMC Sierra

[@4bx_evo]

What I did on mine after I dropped it, I went to the junk yard and took out a stock spring from the passenger side of a 2WD truck and put it on my drivers side to fix the saggy spring. Worked BEAUTIFULLY, fixed all my issues and leveled it straight. Couldn’t be happier. Give it a shot, and install factory shackles to make it even.

[@TWAMotorsports]

They had this issue new

[@Chris-ux5nl]

The attention to detail ceases to amaze love the content TWA keep it coming boss !

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. More to come

[@planedr]

It’s the Chevy lean. The way it was explained to me is the Battery, fuse box, driver, gas tank are all on that side. I got rid of it on my 04 by getting a new RH leaf spring from the junk yard.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I have never had leaf springs fix the issue. Tried that early on in my truck days

[@angelrojas2823]

One of the best detail oriented channels out there great job!

Thank you

Keep NBS videos coming, big NBS truck fan

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. More to come

[@TheOne-yc1wt]

As for the chevy lean do you think maybe a set of new leaf springs would correct it? Maybe driver side just worn down more than passenger? The great unsolved mystery lol

[@TWAMotorsports]

No. They were like this new

[@larrydeaton5452]

Nice video Travis. When will we get to see the newly painted hood and tailgate? That will be a game changer.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I told my painter no rush

[@larrydeaton5452]

That’s always best. Never rush your painter. Lol

[@TWAMotorsports]

True

[@lolife999]

Would you be happier swapping to stock control arms, drop spindles and drop springs? Keep the NBS content coming! Love this truck.

I would bit am leaving it for now. Thank you

Thank you

[@keilylmm6377]

Nice job Travis on your son's daily driver.. truck looks sharp.. welds look peeeeeerfect 👍😎

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you Keith

[@lolife999]

Didn’t have to notch the bed brace directly above the center section of the rearend? What about rear shock relocators/extenders to help with shock angles?

[@TWAMotorsports]

At this drop no on the center. It definitely needs shock relocation

[@knapptasticmedia]

Looking good, yea that chevy lean even shows up with a 4 link and coilovers luckily I was able to adjust it all out within a 1/8 of a inch man was it fun... jack up adjust jack down jack up jack down jack up jack down...... 🤣🤣

[@TWAMotorsports]

I need that rear set up

[@anthonywagner3273]

Hey Travis, another free ideal would be to swap the leaf springs from side to side. You could have a saggy set on one side. And if the truck had a large driver in it for any length of time that might explain some of the Chevy lean.

[@TWAMotorsports]

It isn't a leaf spring sag. These truck had this lean new

[@DaveG1963]

One thing I like about what you do. Even if, say in this instance the rear of the bed and you didn't realize until you got into it that only the rear of the bed bolts had to be removed but had you had to pull the front, you'd went ahead and done so. In other word's whatever it takes to get the job done versus a shortcut. Keep up the good work.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Probably go to far sometimes

[@joshpeck443]

i had the same issues on my s10s. bell tech use to sell urethane spring spacers that i used to correct the lean

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yeah it is pretty common

[@danorourke5184]

If this is the sons daily what are you going to get for yourself? Very sharp truck! Your son is lucky. Thanks for another great informative video

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Updates on my new daily coming soon

[@ericpeterson5602]

I used a mcgaughys 4 6 drop on my 03 chevy stepwise had the same problem 1 inch lower on the left side front put the stock spring back in the left front fixed it truck sat perfect

[@TWAMotorsports]

That works too

[@Will.EastCoastGaugeRepair]

Great, now I want a step side added to the fleet 😂 good looking truck.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Lol. I need to get some interior parts to you for some led but its a daily driver

[@peeweegonzalez5338]

I've dropped 4 of those nbs trucks, what I've noticed besides the lean, the dif tends to shift a little to the right/passenger side! If you stand on the back of each side you can tell, the passenger side always looks more flush to the quarter panel and the driver looks more in!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yes I noticed that. My uncle made shims to address that on the front and rear hangers.

[@brandondawson6896]

Nice C6 back there!!

[@TWAMotorsports]

It is a nice car

[@jeffgraham48]

My 07 has the leen bad. I'm gonna try shackles. Ty...

[@TWAMotorsports]

Hopefully that helps

[@JR-oz5mf]

When cutting the spring on the green truck did you cut the top or bottom of the spring?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Honestly doesn't matter. I did bottom though

[@jmsmilin]

@TWAMotorsports My all stock low mile original NBS right now sits at 33/34 (driver side) and 34/35 inches on pass side (note I do have a small camper shell on it that I have to take off and see if it raises the rear up a bit. The difference between both sides is a full inch both front and rear (with camper shell). There is hardly any gas in the tank so the chevy lean problem is still a mystery to me. After doing some research it appears to me that a flip kit and rear lift hangers will provide the best adjustment option, lift shackles come in half inch sizes as well and it appears to me that a flip kit with this setup can get you 4, 5, or 6 inch drop adjustment by using different size lift shackles on the hangers - I rarely ever see this done or see the rear hangers installed (everyone changes the front hangers)but its looks like best option to me. With this setup the back should be very easy to adjust between the two sides (pass/driver sides) to get the ride height equal between them without the lean. Im going to use the 3 inch lowering arms for the front (they are better to me because they don't have clearance issues, the suspension specs don't change, and Im guessing the camber should not change either. If I want more I can always add 1 inch drop springs. But I will likey cut a very small amount from the original pass side front coil to help level out the chevy lean problem. Between that and the full adjustment in the rear using lift hangers I can chose a 3/4 or 3/5 drop - even a 3/6 but I like rake and am not a fan of the common 4/6 drops. So I will likely end up with a 3/4 or 3/5 possibly even a 3/4.5. Reply

[@TWAMotorsports]

I have set one side different from the other in the back before on the shackle holes to address this

[@jmsmilin]

do you so shims at all to address pinion angle for drive shaft or never had that issue?@@TWAMotorsports

[@TWAMotorsports]

@jmsmilin never had that issue

[@2SIC09]

I bought the Ac Delco set of coil springs from rock auto. One comes taller for driver side

[@TWAMotorsports]

That's interesting

[@ricardogutierrez7854]

Hey TWA awesome video always well informed on how to get the job done right 99-06 GM trucks are known for the Chevy lean driver side always being lower than passenger you should check out IHC suspension they sell upper and lower control arms that fix this issue I have them on my 06 Silverado they are very well made and highly recommended you should check them out

[@TWAMotorsports]

I don't use ihc stuff.

[@AlexLopez-kp1wf]

I wanna go 5/7 with spindle and springs would putting a 1 inch spacer on the spring on the driver side fix this? So having a spacer on driver side and not having a spacer on passenger side

[@TWAMotorsports]

That should address the issue

[@dblcheese1]

Love the content...quick question 🤔 Why don't you like A arm drops and how do you compensate for the track width increase with spindle drops or is that only a problem with OBS 88-98 trucks?!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Don't like the cheap poly bushings used.

[@jesusochoa670]

I have a similar drop. I use the belltech spacer. What do you recommend on shock extenders? I have a really bouncie rear

[@TWAMotorsports]

I generally use mcgaughys shock extensions

[@nickmorrow3829]

QA1 front coil over shocks you can adjusted to get all sides even. But they cost 600-700 dollars.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I may do something like that down the road

I didn't notch the bed on my 07 classic and I REALLY regret it. It has a 4/6 Beltech kit and drives great but if I hit a dip in the road it hits. I shouldn't be feeling the bump stops as easy as I do so im gonna get stiffer rear shocks, just not sure what kind to get. Im middle aged and NOT willing to put up with as much lowrider bullshit as I was willing to as a young man.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Yeah they really need a notch

[@DM-qp7do]

@@TWAMotorsports at first I couldn't figure out what that sound was when I'd hit a big dip in the road. Also my exhaust runs RIGHT over the top of the rear end, not the axle tube but directly over the gear housing. I need to fix all of that and replace the super soft Beltech rear shocks, can you recommend a good quality shock ?

[@TWAMotorsports]

Belltech street performance

[@DM-qp7do]

@@TWAMotorsports I think thats what the kit came with. "Beltech Street Performers" and they're just too soft. I'll find something a little stiffer. On a side note your measurements with the "Chevy lean" are exactly the same as my 07 classic haha. Its a full inch higher on one side. I appreciate the videos man, a lot of these videos are teenagers hacking the shit out of these trucks making them ride and sound like shit, I like the way you do things and it helps me with ideas for my truck 👍
