I love you Bro! I have a 2001 LeSabre Custom with 20" rims, before I used the metal screw spacers you showed, the car road fine, but now after installing them, I have the same problem, the shake is real! This is my first time hearing of binding joints
I'm so glad I saw this video. I was just looking on universal car lifts for a lift kits for my 2000 monte carlo. But I was also thinking about bending the struts as well. Now I know just bend the strut and save the money and headache. Thanks man.
@@boxchevycaprice90 naw bending that strut ain't good. It puts too much tension on the strut. The best thing to do is cut that strut plate off and reweld it. I bout a harbor freight welder and did mine myself
I live in S Colorado, and at stock height my 2000 LeSabre becomes a snowplow in even moderate snow. Thanks for this vid! I'm now about to Baja my LeSabre!
Thanks for this video I have a 93 lesabre and I put 2x4 in the back to lift it a bit and it worked but they would fall out sometimes after smashing over speed bumps, this is great advice and I can't wait to put 24"s on my car THANK YOU
You explained the class of this car perfectly. The one I test drove didn't look like that in the inside. If I ever see one like this I'm buying it just to save.
I got a 84 delta 88 I’m putting 24’s on today I had your same thought process get a lift do it right but watching this I’m confident I can just slap them on with no problem
That looks really classy. You did a great job explaining this entire video. I even learned how to raise my struts as a result. Thank you. I was trying to figure out how my new snow tires will fit on aftermarket struts and found your video..
When you lift with those struts the higher up the strut goes the higher up the car goes so the extension is pushing the body up higher so you use limit straps to hold it down
I was woundering if you could do a video on how you made the adjustable air ride peices. That will work on cadillacs to and if I can get to work on them there will be alot of happy lowrider guys that havent or dont want to get rid of stock setup just adjust. Please and thank you
I had them helo shooz on my 03 Buick but they was 22s I didn’t lift nothing and it only rubbed a lil. They impounded my shit for having too big of rims that rubbed. So I switched to some 22x8 rims and had no rub. I love your car doe
That is dope and u did a great job,i got a 03 park ave ultra yesterday super low miles and rides beautiful i already installed a 7200 pioneer nex double din n 2 12’s this thing pounds but i like how u did the rear suspension-rims are next for me i might need your help wit that air suspension leveler u made and im right in red bank nj!!!
Hey man, I’d be happy to help! And since your here...... I sold my Buick (regret) but still have the wheels, selling them cheep being they only fit on a few cars being I had them custom drilled for the car. They would fit your Park Ave perfectly if your interested 🤷🏽♂️

Wow, she looks beautiful bro, 24s???? And stock suspension???? ... These are wonderful cars, I have a 04 my self I love my car, it takes the right rims to look good on these cars, specially when you want to keep a classy luxury look, but 24s?? I didn't expect to see 24s sit so nice like this, Shee looks great bro, specially the rims just the perfect style , now I'ma have to put some shine on mine lol, great video
IER VIBEZ Hey man thanks! I couldn’t agree more the right set of wheels complete a car. And I couldn’t agree more of these cars are extremely underrated. Thanks for the feedback man
You just said you have different motors 350 is a small block an the rocket motors are actually 355s so next time you brag about an imaginary car it will least sound right
Of course it will, every component in the drivetrain is going to be stressed from those heavy things. You can get lighter weight forged wheels but be prepared to spend $$$$$ on them. I'd just leave it stock, but to each his own...
Don't listen to these dudes...if you drive the speed limit its fine...doing burn outs and racing people all damn day yes it would...I have 24s on a 13 impala and I drive the highway to work every day...30 minute trips there and back...been doing that for 4 years and I'm fine
@@younglords7131 if you look at the base of the headrest where the seat connects there is a tiny little hole, I used a very small Allen key when you push it inside that hole it releases the headrest🤘🏼
I have the same Buick 04 LeSabre. I wanting to install some 24s is there anyway you could setup one of those airvalve things for my car? Or email me with how you built it and where to get the parts?
i see where u went wrong with the front struts, you're not suppose to lift it from the bottom unless u drop the sub-frame. i see where they extended the lower strut mount and i had that problem too, it wears out your axles, thats why your steering wheel was shaking. to do it right, u have to cut the weld off of the spring plate, slide the plate UP no more than 2 inches and weld it back to the strut. THEN put your coil springs on and mount it back to the car. it rides so smooth on 24s that you can barely tell they are on the car.
Ari Reid That is what happened with this car, the front axles are binding up because they are pinched on too much of an angle, that’s why I ripped it all out and did it the way I did.
Anybody still come on here, when you take apart the front suspension you gotta align the front end anyway and use limit straps or turnbuckles on both sides i have my 07 dts same suspension on 26s
Ok so i have a Lesabre too. Im going 26s and i was going to order the same universal car lift as well. So you’re saying go out and buy some limit straps or turnbuckles so the cv joints won’t bind like his?
How did you open up your front springs enough for you to put in those rubber spacers? I got a 06 town car and 24's but I haven't been able to put any type of spacers in the springs. Therefore I'm still riding factory...
True .... Bacc in the day I had a 1990 CADI and did all this b4 and will never do it again and Im glad I saw this vid cuz I was think'n bout buy'n a lesabre right now, not anymore cuz the air shocks in the bacc and spacers in the struts up front is some bull shyt fr. The spacers and everything else you got jammed in the struts fall out when you drive over speed bumps, train traccs etc... and the front end squats and starts shredding the tires and getting everything to sit even is a real bytch fr. Also the front end lift and bend will cause both sides right above those struts on top the fenders to crack straight across where that strut mounts. Not worth it fr.
Hey bro we talked about 2 years ago you was trying to help me hook up the radio in my buick lesabre. Well last time we talked i had no sound. Well i got a new deck and now it won't cut off as soon as i plug it in it cuts on and won't go off
Ivy Winston I looked everywhere on UA-cam trying to figure out how to get these headrest out LOL if you inspect where the head rest slides in you will see a tiny hole, I stuck a tiny Allen key into the hole to release it, then it slides right out 👌🏾
welp....This was 3 years ago, car is still fine. I mean, common sense, the wheels are MUCH heavier so Im driving it easy, not pushing it or beating on the trans. As far as the speedo, yea thats about 10mph off.

Nice car fam. The interior of this Buick is a spitting image of my 03 DeVille. Even the rear air system is similar.
When you lift with those struts the higher up the strut goes the higher up the car goes so the extension is pushing the body up higher so you use limit straps to hold it down
Limit straps? What are those?
I got the exact same one and dude u went all the way in on this car bro!!!!!! U gave me a lot of ideas.
Bro that is dope. I at sum point will be using this video to put 22s or 24s on my 95 Buick park Avenue
What size are those rubber bushings? And where do I order them from?
Man car looks good. Nice stance. Nobody rides super high anymore so you got it sitting damn nice. Respect
I used to have a dope ass gold 2003 Lesabre. Put 22’s on had to take the plastic fenders out tho. Still was dope
What's the biggest size rim that will fit on a LeSabre with no extra work? (No cutting) (no lifts)

How to put 24s on my 2010 Audi A6 ?

What did you use to do the cutting and beating
A cut off wheel and a mini sledge hammer
What did you have to buy/use to make the turn buckle?
What kind of paint did you paint the underside of the car with
the red is just colormatch spraypaint from auto zone, and the black is rubberized undercoating spray paint
You do so awesome work everything looks done professionally. I wanna get 22s on my Lincoln Mkz
Dont do it. U will bend rims left an right. 20" looks an rides best. I got em.

How many inches was the rubber spring booster you use ?? Ask because of what you said about the joint binding
Clutch AGAIN!! I'm sending my kit back lol.

So do you think you can go all the way to 26s with this method?
Would be tough but I’ll try anything twice.
I have a 05 buick century having hell putting 18s on it cause the wheels rub on like the 2nd coil
Where did you get the rubber bushes at
Is the rubber thing u put in Front good for the back to I’m try to get 4inch on my crow Vic I have 24s I never put on will that work with out cuting
Nice work. Nice ride.
I like the way it sets...Companies like that give good ones a bad name...
You need a second channel just for auto stuff...I would definitely watch...

Super good video bro. I'm gunna be buying a Buick Century real soon.
Nice ride AWESOME VIDEO.
Are challenger rims easy without modifications size 20 in
Not sure about the offset changeover, but a 20 inch should fit on this car no problem without doing any work
How did u get those rubber sleeves in the springs
Your wheel bearings are gonna go and your transmission too. Looks nice.
Aaron Villagomes posted this video 2 years ago, today........trans shifts smooth, wheel bearings are fine. Thanks tho 🤘🏽
Your thoughts are all over the place......
And I like it. This was a good video keep them up you just earned a sub👍
How hard do you think would it be to get 26s to fit?
Approximately 2 more inches harder lol
But in seriousness, a lot maters, wheel width and offset is a big deal
Hey do you still have those 2 front struts or did you send them back
You a bad cat and you talk sharp homie!!!
My man!!! 🤜🤛
Hey it looks great and sitting nice

It’s a 2003
I have a 2000 Eldorado and I have 24s but I don’t know if I need to buy different struts or use what I have and place the rubber cups in?
