buen video gracias

[jsta24]

U.S. Made parts and accessories.... Why does it say MADE IN MEXICO on all the items? I bought this kit for my JK, I think I deserve a refund.

Lifting suspensions is awesome, thx

Does anybody know how to tighten the torsion bars in the front on a 2011 gmc sierra to level it?

[cpinkerman]

The new torsion key is con. All it does is add preload to the torsion bar the same as cranking up the stock key. So if you think it does something else you need to think about what is happening that makes the front end higher. The new one is adding more twist (preload) to the bar only using less bolt threads to do so because of the bigger angle. Tell me how i am wrong. If you cant get enuff from the bolt your bars are shot and need replaced.

Hey Chris another great episode. Lift kits do make room for more rubber but do little to enhance performance. It would be great for another episode to put a long-arm kit on that JK. The DayStar lift is a good start for most people.

[rstanek11]

do you know, if i put a 3 inch coil spacer lift in a 2001 dodge do i need longer shocks?

[TheWillbell]

What size tires did you put on the GMC?

[josephfoster30]

What lift kit do I need for an 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 2wd for 3"?

[XXdetonator890]

When you install tires with a larger diameter how do you adjust the speedometer to the correct mph?

[motorztv]

@XXdetonator890 You need to get a programmer (SCI, EDGE, DiabloSport to name a few...)

[erziad]

hi im ziad from malaysia,i wonder if you guys have the produa kembara lifting kit? 

[calfan3]

i have a 2001 Ford Explorer, if i wanna lift it, what do i need? thanks

[christiangr22]

does any body now if i get the 3" bds lift for a 2011 jk do i need to get new track bars

[motorztv]

@christiangr22 Give BDS Suspension a call

[ringenberg2]

That suspension lift doesn't seem like it is going to handle "hardcore off roading", I would like to see any other modifications you made prior (IF ANY) since you have to worry about the prop shaft slipping out of the rear and sometimes the front.

Thank you sorry if you get any nasty comments or criticism towards me while this comment is posted.

i have a 73 chevy c20 im trying to get the blocks in the coils but i cant get the spring to decompress enough i need 1/2" more any ideas?

[Whizzybaby60]

if i crank my tortion up and level the front then install a 3 inch body lift would i be able to run 35s?

[juddo13390]

where you ment to leave the old bumpstop in the jeep or not?

[ramdarodin]

Are rims 16" or 17"

[ironworker28]

Can you add a coil spring with a spacer to achieve say 2 more inches, rather than cranking the torsion bars for 2 inches? This truck like mine has torsion bars with no coil spring, and I would like to not go the route of turning the torsion bar.

[claytonhaske]

are you installing the spring extensions when the torsion bar's key is off, and the bar is pushed forawd? it looks like it in the video. i am going to purchase a leveling kit, just wanted to be 100% on the install, thanks, Clayton

Man, I love this show! It's the most comprehensive automotive modding show that I've found on the net so far.

Does anyone else notice that Chris gives off a total Bill Murray vibe?

[EricTheCarGuy]

It's always fun to hang out in your garage, it's so clean.

[motorztv]

@EricTheCarGuy Thanks Eric! We try to keep it pretty clean as you can tell! Stay dirty!

[blake05vmi]

@EricTheCarGuy thanks guys, im about to install my 2" spacer lift and this was really helpful. nice work

[MLCustomMetrics]

Great job (as usual) Chris. Love watching your videos. Maybe you can get a Challenger in there? Also, at 16:15, I think you meant Blue loctite? If not then apologize. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

[blake05vmi]

@MLCustomMetrics na man, the "red loctite" comes in the blue bottle and the "blue loctite' comes in the red bottle

[ViperVenomACR]

i would like to know what about bump steer kit do pls? 

[motorztv]

@AnythingWeThinkOf Give Daystar a call or check out their website at daystarweb(dot)com

[MeanStang08]

very cool installs Chris!! awesome job as always my friend! MOTORZ rocks!

[motorztv]

@MeanStang08 Thanks for watching old friend!

[The88drunkredneak]

why would you put bigger tiers on a lift? what's the point of a lift if you do that. when I lifted my 98 jeep wrangler I put on a 4" lift the same tiers size and rim size just better tiers. it had even more travel with the same size tiers and rim. if I put on bigger tiers and rims I would have gotten only 2" out of the 4" lift. that wouldn't do me any good would it now.

[EaglesFootball85]

still wish they could get some more cars to use

[Justinbuttman22]

Nice video man keep em coming please haha

[motorztv]

@Justinbuttman22 Thanks!

[salemcripple]

Torsion bar suspension = great for lowering, not so good for lifting. Also, thumbs up if you've ever lifted a truck in your garage/barn, only to find out it wouldn't fit out the door lol.

[motorztv]

@salemcripple Oh yes, that would definitely suck LOL You'd have to put stock wheels back on to get it out, or if it's close try airing down the tires. Good point, though! As for lifting, Daystar's torsion keys did the trick without any problems. You just can't do an extreme lift.

[MrAss707]

@salemcripple  HA HAAAA.... thats fucked up. lol

get the chain saw homie

[JimPrower]

Really? they use torsion bars on GM IFS heavy-duty trucks? I knew about Chrysler using that setup extensively in the '60s, but not GM.

[motorztv]

@JimPrower Yup. As seen on Motorz TV :)

[gocars]

right on! aw yeah! cool! awesome! bad ass!

[jjrock5]

Great show as always, I never knew about that torsion bar suspension.

[motorztv]

@jjrock5 Thanks! Not very many people do, which is why I wanted to talk about it on Motorz and show how it's done.

[fordtruck0]

Always wondered about that torsion key lift. Very nicely explained... and that Jeep turned out killer!

[motorztv]

@fordtruck0 The Jeep has the more drastic before & after of the two due to the taller lift and bigger tires. It looks very very cool. It's already been off-roading!

[phill903]

Good stuff !! the Jeep JK looks awesome...

[motorztv]

@phill903 It sure does. Thanks!

[DRUMMERNIGGA]

Nice!

[t1mmy13]

Good job!
