Thanks for the video…watched a few where they disassembled just about everything on the front suspension…I was waiting on them to tell me to set the radio to an FM station…open the glove box and roll the windows down😳

Nice, it's alot more simple than I expected it to be. Thanks for the video

So no need to remove the sway bar, tire rod and upper ball joint awesome! I’m about to install leveling struts on my truck and knowing I don’t have to remove all that will make the job so much easier and faster!

[gerrybabin]

did you change the spring or some come with spring and shock

[jacklantern]

Excellent video. Great details and close ups were really helpful. Thanks, as a relative was just asking me about their '14 Silverado.
Only wish Fords were as simple.
As a retired wrench, I do most of my own work and some for relatives (only).

Will this work on a 2014 silverado 1500 Lt 2wd. 5.3v8

Auto part store asked if it’s a magnetic strut or regular? Regular is $$200 magnetic is $900. Any thoughts. Never heard of magnetic

I bought shocks for this yesterday from 1A auto. Somehow they arrived this morning less than 24hrs later. Pretty insane

Is there a mileage amount these trucks should be replaced or time length??? Mine are not totally worn but a little bit and little crusty 2016 77k

Got a 2015 Silverado 5.3 with a ploy snow plow about 680 lb. Should i change front springs, bump stops or add sumo rubber coil spring inserts? I have 480 lbs sand in back of truck.

? When installing the 3 nuts on top are they going to be locking nuts or just regular nuts?

[compa_choo]

Thats simple enough. Thought it was gonna be a whole fiasco but looks like just a quick afternoons work

[ragebumpers]

Every time the video cuts is when he’s yelling expletive’s. That’s the most important part. If your not dropping F bombs while working on a vehicle then your not doing it right

[snowpatrol]

[skatenbikee]

Would this be the same for a 14 suburban 1500?

[sarahparker]

[Draega]
