My 2012 Silverado was making a noise, so I replaced the upper control arms (for a lifted truck) with new ones that improved the angle of the upper control arms, and the noise hasn't returned since. You should also inspect your lower ball joints to ensure that they are in good working order.
33x12x20 is the size of the track I run on. It will rub the fender a little, but not to the point of being dangerous. I haven't reinstalled my spacers to see if that makes a difference. I used 33x11x18 as a spacer and had no problems.
There is no way. Either one or the other, but not both at the same time.
No, the 99th percentile does not exist. The suspension on the 06 is torsion bar. A set of torsion keys is required.

In every way, that lift made me feel more American. I've recently begun chewing tobacco and consuming domestic lagers. br>After I installed, I made a friend named Chet with whom I talk about trucks, ride in trucks, and look at trucks- We've even sat in front of the television together to watch truck shows. br>In addition, I've noticed a sudden increase in my love life. I'm married, but after I installed, she wanted to do things that aren't available for free on the internet. br>At the same time, work began to improve- I got a 15% pay increase two days after installing and told my boss to crap in a hat and wear it after installing. My co- Employees have become more invested in the project, and the majority of them now buy me coffee. br>Overall, it's an excellent product. It is true to its word.
The installation was fairly simple, and it took me and a friend about three hours to complete. It completely changed the look of my truck and improved the ride over stock. Because my truck's readings were completely off the charts when I brought it in to the shop, you'll need an alignment afterwards. This kit is well worth the money, and I would recommend it to anyone who owns a Silverado and wants to add height and achieve that desired leveled look. I've included two photos of each side of the truck before and after. MotoFab is the way to go if you're looking for a level lift. The kit was extremely well-made, with high-quality parts and hardware, and it was manufactured in the United States, which was my favorite feature!!.
Even though big lift kits look great when installed correctly, they are a fairly involved job that necessitates more extensive frame and suspension modifications, not to mention a higher price tag. br>br>I was looking for a nice lift that was more than just a basic "level kit" with small spacers between the lower control arms and front shocks, and was tall enough to accommodate the tires I had purchased. Falken Wildpeak A/T3W LT275/70R18 tires (33. 0) were installed on my vehicle. 5 x 11. 00R18) that I wanted on the truck, and I ordered Ultra Predator II 18 x 9 inch wheels from Amazon at the same time. I didn't want any modifications to my front air dam or the GM molded mud flaps because of clearance issues. This kit did exactly what I needed it to do and even went above and beyond my expectations! br>br>Let me start by saying that I'm an ex-automotive technician, so I knew what I was getting myself into before I started this project. Despite my previous experience, this was my first time installing a small lift kit, so I did some research through several forums and youtube videos, especially since I've heard that the provided instructions aren't the best. br>The kit is fairly self-explanatory however, if you p It's impossible to do the cheat-sheet with this kit because it's too tall. After you've disconnected everything and removed the front spring/shock assemblies, you'll need to cut off the upper control arm bump-out. to come to a halt and re-start After the front shock spacers have been installed, connect the upper ball joint to the steering knuckle. Smaller kits, which can also be found on Amazon and MotoFab, are unlikely to require this. It's not a big deal to make the minor change, and I discovered that using a cut-out worked well. on a die-casting wheel Cutting them off with a grinder is a quick and painless process. After you've gotten rid of the bump, you can move on to the next step I smoothed the cut-outs after that. I used a grinder to remove any sharp edges and a small amount of undercoating spray to protect the exposed areas from corrosion. Because of the bump, With the front shocks in place and the stops removed, the upper control arms have enough downward movement to start threading the ball joint stud through the steering knuckle and tightening the stud nut. All that's left to do now is finish putting the front end back together. The new lift blocks were an easy swap out from the factory ones when it came to installing the rear blocks; just make sure you only do one side at a time or you'll end up with re-installation issues. br>br>The entire project took me about 4 hours to complete, but it may take you longer or shorter depending on your mechanical skills and available tools/equipment to complete the job. It does help to have a second set of hands, especially when you're re-assembling something. connecting the steering knuckles to the upper control arms in the front. br>br>You'll need to have the vehicle re-registered. After the kit is installed, the truck should be aligned, and after that, aftermarket wheels and tires should be installed. Many aftermarket wheels lack recessed rim lips or make it difficult to install alignment machine heads on the outer rim edges, making alignment and/or marring more difficult. a new set of wheels Knowing this, I aligned the truck with the original rims and tires before installing my new wheels. br>br>After everything was installed and aligned, the truck looked fantastic and drove smoothly down the road. I believe the ride is even better now than it was before the kit was installed, with no rough or bumpy feeling when driving through rough terrain. br>br>Attached are before and after photos of the truck to show the difference this kit, along with the new wheels/tires, made. br>I can't say enough good things about the quality of this kit (especially since it's made in the United States!). ) and the $125 price tag is a steal. When compared to similar kits from other companies, this kit costs only $00! br>br>I would strongly advise anyone looking for a new look for their truck to purchase this kit and work with this company!.
I have a stock 2013 1500 Silverado with 275/75/R17 AT's that were rubbing a lot, so after reading 50 reviews I decided to go with the motofab 3/2 level kit over the rough country, I had to watch several YouTube videos to get ready for what I was getting myself into, I've never done anything other than oil changes, tire rotations, and a few break jobs before this. I still felt in over my head after watching the motifab video on YouTube because of the lack of details, so I went on YouTube and found a video from a guy with a snowplow who gave a great video. I felt a little better, but I still felt I needed to enlist the help of a friend, which I did. We spent the first hour tearing everything down, which went without a hitch. We had a difficult time getting the spacer to line up with the bolts from the bottom arm after placing it on top of the shock, but after about 45 minutes of playing with it, we were able to get it to work. We broke the clips while tightening and I was concerned, but after reading about them in another thread, it wasn't a big deal, and the passenger side went 5x faster because we knew what to expect. That's when I realized we didn't bolt the spacer into the shock, we only dropped it in, because the videos weren't clear, and when we tried to bolt it in on the passenger side, none of my fittings would fit in the groves, so I decided not to. The back end of the truck went in quickly and easily, and the result was even better than the pictures depict; you really can't judge a book by its cover, and the pictures don't do it justice! So far, nothing has fallen off, so I'll be getting an alignment next. Before you begin, make sure you have an extra pair of hands and allow for a 4-hour time frame. If you're a moderately auto-inclined person, it'll take you about 5 hours. Overall, the quality was excellent, and it arrived sooner than expected. Make sure you have a metric wrench and socket set; you'll need 10mm, 13mm, 15mm, 18mm, and 21mm sockets, as well as a 15 mm wrench. Also, have a crow bar, screwdriver, air rachet, and hammer on hand. 1. a jack of adequate size 5 ton. Also, there's jack. Last but not least, a 12-pack of brewskis! Also, if you're looking for a big tire, keep in mind that my 275/70/R17 is no longer in production!.
Although the truck appears to be in good condition, the angles in the front end are now incorrect. To fix the severe angle this lift caused on the upper ball joint, I had to purchase some rough country upper control arms. The stopper bracket on the OEM upper control arms was also bottoming out. So, in the end, I spent nearly $400 to properly perform this lift.
