Funny, because of this episode, I had every intention of doing this when I got my 03 Silverado. 17 years later, it's still at factory ride height. 😂😂

[@zacheiriksson]

12 year old me used to watch these shows Saturday mornings on spike TV. Dreamed of being able to do aftermarket work like this as a job and for myself. Alas things change and very rarely go how we dream lol

[@plantdesigns7889]

@@zacheiriksson my problem is I always wanted to do it right and that costs money lol. In highschool I wanted an S10 and was going to lower it and put a snug top shell on and have a big wall of sub woofers. I started looking at what I wanted and adding up the cost. I decided I didn't want to work that much while I was in school 🤣. Same story when I got my Camaro senior year and probably won't ever do anything to the Accord Coupe I have now. Oh well, it's fun to dream.

@Howdy Justice well, seeing as Mel Fair is co-hosting with Stacy David, this was likely late-90's-2005, but seeing as they'd said that the Silverado was new, I'd say it was probably 1999

@PowerNation, hey douchbag ever heard of a Tesla which is an ELECTRIC vehicle? Maybe punks like you who block charging stations with ur crappy trucks need a re-education of how ICE vehicles are causing global warming u moron. See ya sorry but thumbs down~

[@bmstylee]

@@battosaijenkins946 someone needs a lesson on how bad making batteries are for the environment. Add in you still burn fossil fuel to create the electricity to charge said electric car. So you get to kill the environment making batteries. Kill the environment to produce the electricity to charge it. Then when the batteries are toast you have to find a way to dispose of highly toxic objects. Keep telling yourself that the Tesla is so much better. 😆

@@haydenreyes4621 maybe, but resetting/custom leafs has been a thing since forever. Lifting with blocks is a terrible idea when it comes to actually off roading. Used to frequently drive a friends truck with 6 inch blocks in it, had axle hop from hell when it broke traction on a hill or in sand.

In the video, Stacey states they chose blocks over leafs. I assume that choice was based on what Superlift was willing to give them for free.

@@dixiecbclub3437 Strange GM fact, the GMT400 series didn't officially end until 2001. The half ton trucks got the first GMT800 restyle with the all new LS based V8's in 1999. In 2000, the Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban got the GMT800 upgrade. Your truck, a heavy duty pickup didn't get the GMT800 treatment until 2001. It sure was a strange transition for GM trucks and suv's, but also the beginning of their decline as well. Both of you are lucky to have those trucks, they are the last of the good ones. My 1999 Z71 looks just like this one, but sunburnt BAD. The truck has over 300k(rebuilt trans at 240k), and still runs strong!
