SILVERADO GETS BUDGET LIFT KIT! (HUGE MISTAKE?!) ROUGH COUNTRY!

We got this truck up in the air finally! No need to jack it up for oil changes from here on out.
Up next we fill the massive wheel gap with some meaty 35 inch OFFROAD TIRES!
Were going to need to start ordering camping and overlanding equipment soon!

[@CUSOCOOL]

Thanks for the help bro and the laugh. The face in the chrome then budlight song had me rollin😂😂

[@tragicnomadic]

Look to beltech for a front sway bar it'll help bring the nose under control again with the bigger tires. I know you spent alot but such is modified life man. My lowering job in the truck took me 2 days straight to do. 26 hours total time but!! Cali truck I didn't deal with rust and the old owner had the udner body lined with some rubberized coating ..even the brake lines and wiring.. But yeah keep up the work man! It's looking good. You'll get there. Brake lines are easy.

[@blacksa160]

Surprised you could fit stock tires on with a new steering knuckle, mine started rubbing the rim

[@fifaclips4928]

What size rim ?

[@mrfelix2510]

I think the lift height with the stock wheels looks perfect.

Sick video cant wait for the off road video

[@SpiritDriven]

I’m nervous man 😂

[@jesusochoa3721]

@@SpiritDriven itll be a good video ether way alway can buy another truck if worse comes to worse switch over the goodies

[@TheXV1CT0Rx]

Also the stock springs we’re almost identical to the “4.5 inch lift” shocks. No difference in diameter or length

[@TheXV1CT0Rx]

I just put a 4.5 on my 2wd. 4x4 not needed but the lift is. Instructions didnt say anything about brake hoses not fitting so that’s gonna be fun hunting down a local brake hose

[@i_am_wi11_]

What do you mean the brake hose didn’t fit

[@filynv582]

Where did you order the brake lines??

[@SpiritDriven]

Kept the OEM lines

[@matthewjensen9550]

That thing is rough underneath?

[@christopherhernandez9115]

Where you buy the upper arms you got a link or brand

[@joshuaseballos7322]

Did you have to replace de differential for the 35s?

[@SpiritDriven]

I did not do it yet, but I will eventually regear it yes

[@nietolkj]

Do you think 33 tires wld fit a Silverado 2 wd with a 3 inch lift? Same truck like yours

[@SpiritDriven]

Yup! You probably won’t even have to cut the body I regret not doing 33s

[@nietolkj]

@@SpiritDriven thanks for the info

[@Egnalnodnarb]

@@nietolkj33s fit on mine with just a level. Needed to cut a small angle in the plastic bumper

[@elkokes6796]

Yo bro mind sending me the links to all the parts you bought I already bought the lift kit just stuck on what I’ll need thanks!

[@jamesmendoza2405]

Where did you purchase the rubber spring isolator that’s installed on the bottom of spring?

[@texas.defender_45-47]

Looking to buy one of these for my Sierra. Is there anything not included in the kit that I should get? Mine is factory height 2wd just like yours n don’t wanna be caught off guard.

[@SpiritDriven]

As long as it’s the same year you should be fine 👍🏼

[@texas.defender_45-47]

@@SpiritDriven sweet thanks man. You got a nice lookin truck there 👍🏻

[@i_am_wi11_]

So I don’t need longer brake lines ? Currently installed this lift today and haven’t drove it yet. I feel like my brake lines aren’t that long. Is there a certain way to put them ? I saw some comments about them going behind the spindle

[@SpiritDriven]

@@i_am_wi11_ just make sure they’re not going to get caught on anything I’m still running the regular lengths

[@saysayvlogs7403]

What size blocks did you end up going with??

[@SpiritDriven]

Just stayed with the original ones! Levels out real nice 👍🏼

[@iankerr1549]

Hmmm I put 3/4 springs in the rear of my half ton hopefully this levels me shit out nice otherwise imma have to get that smaller block 😭

[@Artf33]

Did you have any issues with the drive shaft slip yoke? Installed lift on mine and the Yoke came out a bit. Wondering if they make longer yokes or spacers

[@SpiritDriven]

@@Artf33 no issue at all!

[@sammygomez4261]

Truck looks nice 💪🏽 have the same lift kit I need to upgrade my upper control arm do you have the link of freedom offroad ones.

[@SpiritDriven]

Thanks dude! Unfortunately it looks like they don’t make them anymore They make them for the 4x4 Not too sure if those will actually fit a 2wd

[@i_am_wi11_]

Do you have to upgrade the control arms ? Or does the stock ones work well with the 4.5 lift ?

[@elkokes6796]

@@SpiritDrivendo you have the link mines the z71 off-road and I can’t find any uppers all of them are 2-4 inch lifts by any chance do you know if they would work ?

@@elkokes6796 shoot I don’t have that much experience with them I’m not sure Also I can’t seem to find the uppers Maybe discontinued?
