Just finished an install. I could not get upper ball joint separated. I just removed the CV axle from the differential and removed the steering knuckle. This gave me enough room to do the install. Took about 20 m inutes on passenger side. The drivers side took much longer because I could not get the upper ball joint separated. Just thought I would share in case anyone has same issue. Truck looks perfect with 2 inch front lift.

This is ridiculous you don’t have to do all this just for a 2” leveling kit. See other video of Ready Lift.. it’s WAY easier only like 4 bolts. No major disassemble like this.

With a higher chance of breaking...when it has those longer bolts. A good pothole will snap them in half.

I agree lol. I’ve put leveling kits on my last 3 GM trucks and I’ve never touched a single ball joint or anything to take them apart. Major disassembly is not required if you know what you’re doing.

So why not do the spacers that’s everyone puts on the bottom of the suspension? Easiest and faster install. “American Truck” has a video of putting that on the 19-22 model?

With the lift, will those tires rub on sharp turns? Are those tires 33 or 35s?

Worked on my 1500 Sierra today. Got the driver's side done, can't get the passenger side wire harness off that goes above the top of the strut. The video isn't clear how to take off the bolt that holds it on. Any help? I'm stuck

@Rough Country do you consider a strut compressor to be a hand to? I want to do this, but I am concerned about two things... will this level my truck (2020 silverado 1500 Z71 LTZ) or bulldog it? And, will I need to buy a strut compressor?

If you only install the leveling spacer on top of the strut and don't rotate it then when you go to install the strut assembly won't line up with the mounting points on top and bottom.
