Any problems with CV boot interference? Also will i need to replace any other parts like upper control arm or tie rod end??? Is the suspension system in general harmed by this tweak in the long run? Really want this but don't want to cause any problems.
No nothing will be harmed 2" is minimal lift after 3" thats when its recomemded to get a upper control arm thats what i been told i also got a leveling kit but mine was 2.25 procomp lift
We have not had any issues with boot interference with the kit properly installed. No other components were replaced, all still retain the factory parts. We like the extra lift, that allowed us to install the larger tires. Gave the truck a good stance.
@@raptor074 ...Hi Alej, I am considering buying the pro-comp 2.5 lift kit and having it installed professionally. Everything I tried to find out said there should be no problems with the use of the 2.5 kit. what is your take on this. I will not be towing anything except maybe a rental trailer for my motorcyle to the dealership if it needs service. I feel that that the 2.5 lift in the front is just enough clearance it needs, and of course it will look better level with the rear of the truck.
What about for off-road use? I’ve read some comments on a few other videos saying these type of kits with the spacers on the bottom will tear boots when off-roading.
I just installed this on a 2020 Sierra 4x4. This video or the instructions say nothing about disconnecting the sway bar end link. Trust me it’s almost impossible to line up bolt holes
If you are referring to the spacer block for the rear, then yes that is possible. If you are trying to use both spacers for the front, unfortunately that is not possible.
@@bobbyjones7750 I’ve got 285/75/17 cooper at3 xlt’s on mine and they will barely scrub in reverse when new at full lock. My wheels are method nv-305 0 offset.
I've seen other videos of people not taking off the knuckle on some leveling kits like this and just taking off the sway bar link. Do you have to take off the knuckle to fit this spacer in or not really?
Complete removal of the upper control are was not needed but we did have to remove it from the knuckle to allow a bit more room. to get the spacer in place.
The maximum we would suggest would be a 33. Any larger then you would run into major clearance issues. We still ran into clearance issues with the 33 tires but simple adjustments and we are clear.
The kit that is available for the Trail Boss and AT4 models provides a better ball joint angle to prevent any premature wear. This kit might work but the strut geometry would be slightly off for the Trail Boss and AT4 models.
@@PhastekTrucks thank you for your quick reply.....I was a little concerned about my cv axel not the upper control arm. Thanks again! I just put this on yesterday.
I followed all the instructions and my cv boot is resting on my strut when the suspension is fully extended. I made a video ua-cam.com/video/7cn9zBNZsi4/v-deo.html
@Andre G If you received a bolt that is defective we are more then willing to reach out to ReadyLIFT and get you new hardware. Non of the bolts should be rounded, they should all be unused and in new condition.
No, the Trail Boss models require a different kit. Reach out to our sales team and they can get the correct kit lined up for you. 855-742-7835 or sales@phastek.com
from 2:30 to 4:50, this video is useless. Can't see anything, and your just repeating what you already showed us, so why show it? But with that said, other parts of video are good help.

Alej C what truck do you have and could you link your 2.25? I want that for my 2020 rst 4wd but don’t know if it fits

Same exact truck I have so this video is helpful thanks
Glad we could help!
What about if i put trailboss strut on this exact model. And like to add 1 inch leveling kit blocks? Works?
I can't find the exact part you installed on the link you provided, all I see is upper strut parts . Not the lower strut part in the video.
Upper control arms ?
I installed a moto fab 2.5 kit just like that and I can’t tell if they are making metal to metal noises while driving
Has anyone installed the 1.5" leveling kit instead of the 2"? i can seem to find any videos on that.
I have a 2019 TrailBoss 5.3 would I be able to use this on it?
Do you know the torque specs for every nut/bolt you removed/loosened? I can’t seem to find them 🤦🏻♂️
Did you guys have to remove the sway bar link as well? Thanks in advance
Yes drop it, if not your gonna fight like crazy to get it in there.
I already have 33”s. But I assume I could still add 2” if I did an install?
If you truck is not already lifted I do not see a problem with adding this.
Is it normal that one side is taller than the othe one for 1/4?
Does this fit a 2021 silverado 2wd custom crew cab
Can you use that spacer and the spacer block at the same time ?
If you are referring to the spacer block for the rear, then yes that is possible.
If you are trying to use both spacers for the front, unfortunately that is not possible.
****Not for trail boss suspension according to their website.
How long did it take you to install?
Do you need to re-align the front end? Will this fit my 2021 1500?
An alignment is suggested. It should fit the 2021 1500 if you have the correct model.
@@PhastekTrucks SILVERADO LT Z71 1500 4X4
What about the rear lift kit please link me the part thx
Will it work on the Trail Boss?
Unfortunately this kit will not fit with the Trail Boss. They are working on a kit for that application though.
will this work with a 2020 rst z71?
What’s the biggest tires will fit without rubbing?
We installed 33x12.50 tires on our truck, a little clearance with the splash guards and we are good.
Phastek Trucks Are those 20 inch wheels? I wonder if can use my 18x 8.5 stock wheels?
@@bobbyjones7750 I’ve got 285/75/17 cooper at3 xlt’s on mine and they will barely scrub in reverse when new at full lock. My wheels are method nv-305 0 offset.
@@PhastekTrucks what offset in the rim did you run for 33x12.5?
@@robp418 Stock suspension. Or are you leveled or lifted?
Has anyone had any issues with their spacer at all?
All the customers that have reported back to us have not had any issues. We have about 10k miles on our truck with this spacer and no problems.
I've seen other videos of people not taking off the knuckle on some leveling kits like this and just taking off the sway bar link. Do you have to take off the knuckle to fit this spacer in or not really?
We did not have to remove the knuckle with this install. Some do require it but this kit did not need it done.
@@PhastekTrucks sorry I meant the upper control arm mount.
Complete removal of the upper control are was not needed but we did have to remove it from the knuckle to allow a bit more room. to get the spacer in place.
With the 2 inch level, what is the max tire size one could put on this vehicle without any issues?
The maximum we would suggest would be a 33. Any larger then you would run into major clearance issues. We still ran into clearance issues with the 33 tires but simple adjustments and we are clear.
Could you please explain why this kit does not work with the 2020 trailboss?? I have this kit installed in my 2020 trailboss right now.

@@PhastekTrucks thank you for your quick reply.....I was a little concerned about my cv axel not the upper control arm. Thanks again! I just put this on yesterday.
The bolts that holds the leveling block looks very close to the CV boot. Will it touch on full turn? Will a Spacer block be better? Thanks
We have not had any issues with contact, even with full turn. If the hardware is installed correctly then there should be no contact.
I followed all the instructions and my cv boot is resting on my strut when the suspension is fully extended. I made a video ua-cam.com/video/7cn9zBNZsi4/v-deo.html
@@bincockwell2610 And you removed the video. Probably when you realized you did something wrong?
Is 4X4?
One of the screw bolts head is round? Is that suppose to be like that?
I am not sure which bolt you are referring too. Pretty sure non of the bolts were rounded for this installation but I am willing to double check.
@@PhastekTrucks the 4 bolts to mount the spacer to the lca. Idk if I got a defective bolt
@Andre G If you received a bolt that is defective we are more then willing to reach out to ReadyLIFT and get you new hardware. Non of the bolts should be rounded, they should all be unused and in new condition.
Once installed should I get the truck aligned
Yes, we would suggest getting the truck aligned after the install.

odd background music, had it low sounds like people screaming
Do you loose the smooth ride if you add those
No, the ride is maintained very well.
Would this fit on a 2019 trail boss edition?
No, the Trail Boss models require a different kit. Reach out to our sales team and they can get the correct kit lined up for you.
855-742-7835 or sales@phastek.com
Price?
Did you guys installed a kit on the back wheels too? And is the installation the same as the front? thanks!
Nothing was installed in the rear, this was only a front kit. A rear kit would require a different type of installation.
Your 1” spacer is give you 2” elevation?
Will this kit work for 2021 with the 3.0L duramax?
This kit will work on the any 1500 model as long as it does not have the Trail Boss package.
Will the 4" lift work ?
Unfortunately not. This kit was designed for the factory suspension and depending on which 4" lift you have, it might not work as designed.
Is it recommended to get an alignment after installing the leveling kit?
It is suggested that an alignment be done just to be sure that everything is in line.
Yes you have to
Not needed but won't hurt getting it checked out..
I'm interested in this lift guys. I was wondering do you need a wheel alignment after?
Yes, with any lift we do suggest an alignment just to be sure everything is tracking true and you dont have any premature tire wear.
How much for this installation
We do not perform installations on a daily basis. Any off road shop near you should be able to accomplish this for a decent install price.
from 2:30 to 4:50, this video is useless. Can't see anything, and your just repeating what you already showed us, so why show it? But with that said, other parts of video are good help.
Not a torque wrench in sight. Upsetting.
I agree but I think the problem is finding the torque specs to begin with. I couldn't find them anywhere other some guesswork here on UA-cam.
Torque rating is 2 ugagagas. Lol.
@@The1mybuddy1 ah gotcha. The sacred ugagagas. 😆
Not even a torque stick...
Will this fit a 2021 silverado high country??
As long as your High Country does not have the Trail Boss suspension this kit should fit with out any issues.
