Awesome video! Just finished watching, love it!👍
I appreciate that arod
Was very rewarding to see that old bushing come out.
Yessir it was a job to get it out too lol
So glad i watched this. I need to solve my wheel hop. Its rough with 33in tires. And then u said at the end that it will raise ur truck when u tighten it down which is great. My rear needs a light lift. Done put spacers on the rear but i need a slight more lift for hauling boats
They do work and do the job but if your is a lifted truck they will go on to I believe and with them on top of the axle idk if they will still give a little lift or not
Wow at first it looks like intall the caltracs its very easy... But it's not! A lot of effort. Patience n resistance to be there laying on the floor.
Congrats
Bought a set and i have to adapt them to my Chevy colorado take them to a machine shop to xut the aluminum bushings n asked to put them in the spring leafs
Uufff!
Yessir they can be tough
Great job!
Thanks destroyer
Nice!! Clean vid man
Thank you
Add a drop shackle to fix the stance
Now it has some miles on it it's good
Awesome🔥
Thank you
Nice truck. Does it hit the slap bar on the leaf springs? Thinking about running the same thing
What are your thoughts on removing that last bar on the leaf spring
@@guambomb42 taking the big leaf out of the bottom I've done it before on a nbs truck never had a problem the slap bar on mine isn't even close to the leak to hit
I've seen some people remove one piece of the leaf spring on each side. Did you guys do that?
No we didn't
What's the tool you used to press the bearing in? Ball joint presser?
Yes it's a ball joint press and them things are hard to get in
What exhaust system are you running!? That thing sounds mean as hell!
Long tubes x-pipe single chamber muffler dual in dual out true duals 2 1/2 pipe
@CCAutoWorks thanks for the reply! I've got an 89 with the cat delete and a 2 chamber muffler dumped out the side. It sounds good but I could use more volume. Guess I'll for a single chamber muffler or maybe a dynomax bullet muffler.
@@Sc0teeBe318 you have anything done to your engine
@CCAutoWorks not like you do. Maybe one day. Basically, I just deleted all the smog stuff and have 3" exhaust. I have an injector spacer, air cleaner spacer, and 4" tall air cleaner. Just very cheap basic stuff. It does pretty good though. Spins tires through 1st and 2nd before it gains any traction.
@@Sc0teeBe318 that's awesome you will get there little by little sounds like you have a good start
So traction bars lift the rear of the truck up ?
Just a little bit when you over tighten them
@@CCAutoWorks I put 2” drop shackles in mine and I installed the vas traction bars but it still looks somewhat lifted in the rear the front suspension is stock
@@oscarfraire2483 yeah 2" isn't really enough to level it I usually make my drop shackles to drop 2 1/2 to 3" if possible
@@oscarfraire2483 I make them to where the leaf spring rubs the bottom of the bed
@@CCAutoWorks do you have any idea why Silverado get the Chevy lean ? I’m get a small Chevy lean about .5-.75” lean I have no idea why need help
man this truck looks like the one that got stolen from me
Stolen that sucks but I can tell you this one isn't it
@@CCAutoWorks I know it’s not I seen you built it. I had a 1990 ec step side
Are those caltracs what they call "low profile" ?
What do you mean by low profile
@@CCAutoWorks the calbert guys say that are 2 designs for traction bars the low profile n the race or drag ones.
@@julianoliva2850 the two I know about is one for lowered trucks that work with a flip kit low profile or the ones that work with the stock height truck with the leaks on top of the rearend
what drop mines 5/6 and fixing to buy my traction bars
Mines a 3/5
u dont have any problem with clearance with the tractions bars being to low on on the ground
@@rigovaldez162 no I've never hit them on anything we have a lot of speed bumps around here and they clear fine
@@CCAutoWorks thank u for the info
@@rigovaldez162 anytime
I would rather lift the truck a little than to continue wheel hopping and eventually break something.
Now that it's be awhile the truck actually settled back down
@@CCAutoWorks cool.
Looks slow
It is for today's standards
