Leveling Kit on a Silverado | Must Watch!

Do you think that the front end on the GM trucks are to low? If you are like me and my customer, you do think so. In this video I will show you how easy it is how to install a leveling kit in a Chevy truck (plus parts are cheap (less than 45$). Check out link below). You don’t need to have a lot of knowledge to install a leveling kit in a Chevy truck or how to install a leveling kit in a GMC truck. This video is on how to level a GM truck 1500 6 lug 2WD and also 4WD all the way from 2007 to 2017. I will also show you a simple trick, on what to do, to keep your bushing from tearing and wearing when installing a leveling kit. You should always get an alignment done after you change your vehicles ride height, doesn’t matter if it is leveling, lifting, or even lowering. An alignment is very important to keep your tires from wearing.
