i would do this in a heart beat. o jet don't want to cut those bolts so i can go back to normal if need be

[shadowjr660]

@martinsteele05 you can still go back to stock,it's only the non-threaded portion of the bolts that get cut off. struts could always be replaced also. the best option for you though would be to go with a 2.5in lift and bolts don't get cut at all.

@shadowjr660 Thanks man

A little hint: Prior to cutting the studs on the top of the strut, thread the nuts that secure it back on. That way after cutting it, cleaning the threads becomes a little easier after you remove the nuts.

What brand of lift or spacer are you using? Looks faily simple to install. I want one for my 2011 Silverado.

[shadowjr660]

@boomhauer76 lift spacer is from "heavymetallifts" on ebay sells for $69.99, other sizes are available also. check 'em out, its a great deal. P.S. don't forget your before and after pics:)

did you have to remove the factory skid plate because many instructions say you have to before you put the kit

[shadowjr660]

@josecarlos237 The skidplate should not need to be removed unless the kit includes drop brackets for the front diff.,which is common with 2 1/2" and larger lifts

Awesome video and great looking truck! Thanks for sharing.

What all tools do you need for this install, aside from the regular wrench/socket set? I saw you used a grinder, pry bar and files. Any others? Thanks!

@jmaface4radio Thanks for the comment, glad you like it. As for tools required for the job what you see was all I needed.
