Rookie Mistakes When Lifting Your Truck!

Here’s some advice on what to look for when buying your next lift kit!

[chadkennedy]

An old guy I worked under for my apprenticeship year ago gave me the best advice I've ever heard.. " there's nothing more expensive than being cheap. " buy good shit the first time and exactly what you want or you'll be buying stuff repeatedly.

Guys, when putting a part into a truck or any vehicle. Do your research. Go to a truck meet. Ask people who have dealt with it. Figure out how it’s going to affect your truck, ride quality, gas mileage, post maintenance, will things wear and tear faster. Etc etc. Figure out everything that’s specific to your truck and the parts you’re looking to install. Before you go and spend money or send it to a shop to get done and then find out after the fact how your truck is going to react to a mod. Be smart guys and gals. Happy trucking. Good video guys!

I use my truck for hunting, driving through some mud (Colorado clay) and back and forth to work which includes sometimes driving out into loose soil on our farmers circles. A leveling kit and a set of 34x11 inch tires is enough for me :)

"Chevy assumes youre gonna be towing with it" ...yeah, thats what theyre made for. Work. not rolling around the highway looking like a disco ball

I went the cheeper way and got zone off-road instead of the much more expensive BDS and gave not regretted it. Went through both instructions and they were the same. Zone doesn't have lifetime warranty like BDS does but at less than half the price understandable. Plus I've never gotten warranty to work for me in aftermarket situations (love my zone off-road lift 2013 GMC 2500) do your research :)

Don’t feel too bad! I just removed a leveling kit because I was fed up with the ride quality and not being able to fit ridiculous tires. I replaced the spacers with Bilstein 5100’s up front and in the rear. I now have more rake then I did before! 😂. Thousands invested while a few lessons were learned.

I purchased a set of 22s with tires for my 14 ram from these guys. Highly satisfied with the purchase from start to finish. Thanks custom offsets!

[charliemuniz]

When you just found out custom offsets is 10 minutes away from your house and your freaking out🤣😳😂

Thanks so much for all the info...I did my first lift kit and 35x12.5 and knew it would fit due to all the info I received from yall and the manufacturer's...I knew how my truck was going to look from the be posting in gallery this week to be a blessing to someone else

[christopherbarrett]

I really hope y'all grow more and more and offer more things, like exhaust/performance parts. I love the way Custom Offsets operates. Way better than the other auto part sellers online. I don't like the American Trucks way of doing things where you just mumble some stuff into a camera and have no personality

[edgarknowsstuff]

Have Alex do a custom offsets video and fuller do a fitment Industries video, without them saying anything about it and just playing it off as a normal video

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I want to buy my first lift kit and I needed to see this

[spin]

Done with lifted trucks, I used to drive um out of the dealership right to the shop for a lift and rims/tires. No matter what I spent shit always broke and broke shit sucks.

I legit bought a 2.5 lift and level from Rough country for my 01 f150 just to get the extra clearance to fit 33s on 17 inch rims.

[sneakerhead]

Idk why rough country is knocked by them so much rough country is a good brand they make good lift kits

[gregsmithjr]

I’m getting ready to start my build next week 98 Sierra k1500 4by4 if you guys want to get involved I’ve already got a 6” Rough country suspension lift brand new in box at home ready an want to do a lot more it be awesome to have y’all show my truck from start to finish

Why does this guy look like a bearded. Ben Shapiro

[Oscar-lofh]

Appreciate the advice you guys give us.. Can't wait to start looking for a truck next year trying to go with a 8 inche lift

ive watched many of your videos because lets face it generally no one knows everything.. What Im trying to get a grasp on is, what does rough country not provide that makes the ride quality not as advertised " maintains factory ride quality"..Also on the opposite end of the spectrum McGaughys advertises a true 7" lift and states no other lift holds true measurement. In the past i always just bought the best bang for the buck, but now being in a 15 duramax that rides like a cadillac, i dont want to lose much if any of the ride quality
