Please tell me the chevy shake fix b4 I spend a shit ton of money....anybody please help
AmericanTrucks Chevy & GMC hola Carlos Quintana
I only need the rear blocks. I have lifted my truck with a 5" but i want to do 6" on the back. Do you guys offer the blocks, i have a sierra 2018.
My dealership has a lifetime guarantee on the 2015 1500 4x4 I bought. They won’t let me get a six inch lift or put 33’s on because it will void the lifetime warranty . The only lift I could do was a leveling kit! Sucks
My favorite part was that they cut the grass on the hill to show even more of a difference in clearance lmao
Got a 2018 z71 crewcab sitting on 35s and a 2.5in level kit only rubs a little bit at full lock and i dont take it off road its just for show, just wanted to share for the guys wanting to get just the look
he broke his arm installing a lift LoL
I've ran 33's on a 2001 and a 2016 on just a leveling kit no rub at all. 6" on 33's looks like shit..... now dont get me wrong those wheel wells are stupid but 33's is skipping leg day. If people actually want to go off road in these trucks get a front bumper and they'll never have a problem. Good video tho mall crawlers everywhere will love it
See that's what I was curious if 33s would fit on a just a level maybe a 3-4 inch lift at most because to me a 6 inch is just too much
@@Grrr413 I just did a Quick Lift 2.5 level kit on my 1500 GMC. I put Nitto Ridge grapplers 305 55 R20s so that's about 33.5 tire height and 12 inch wide. I also bought TIS 544m wheels ar 20X9 because I believe 20X10 would be to much and rub bad. This setup works. It does however rub very slightly at full turn. Hope this helps
I put the 2 1/2" RC leveling kit on an 03 Sierra, and cranked the torsion keys all the way and put 35x12.5r18 tires on factory offset rims from a 2013 chevy 1500. I had to cut a little plastic on front and back fender wells with a grinder and cutoff wheel but it worked. The back of the truck sat a little lower so I put an add-a-leaf on to level it out. One summer later the fresh front end job was toast. It is too harsh of an angle on the front end running torsion keys maxxed out. That's why they give all custom steering components on the 6" lift. I ended up running the stock 31.6" tires and rebuilding the front end. Now my truck has a rough ride with no difference in tire size, but at least the truck height is where it should be. I can't see buying 33" tires to gain .7" of ground clearance, if i did, it would be more for looks. The other thing to consider with going up in tire size is gearing.The 35's were ok running stock 3.73 gears but you definitely notice the loss of power when taking off from a start or towing. I could still get the 35's to burn rubber with the 5.3l but I am running a cold air intake and a cat delete with true dual exhaust which probably makes the 4l60e the weak link.
its not just the circumference of the tire. its width and offset too. i have a 5 inch lift with 33x12.5 with a -18 offset and i get a slight rub full lock backing up. so although your statement may not be wrong, but its misinformed when you dont mention what width tires you ran on your leveling kit or what offset on your rims. its not just the lift and the tire size that matters. end of story
i have a 2.5" leveling kit on a 2014 gmc sierra 1500 and i run 33x12.5 with a -18 offset as well and i rub just a little bit if im at full lock and hit a bump. its just in the back which is an easy fix if it really bugs you that bad. i took my vallance (i think its called) off my front bumper so idk if it would rub up there or not. But it doesnt bug me enough to get out the heat gun lol.
I have that same kit on my 2015 denali and i am running 35s with no problem
What your overall height from ground to top of roof? Want a 6" lift but don't think it will fit 6'10" parking garage
Isn’t the denali a HD truck?
M K available in a half ton and HD
J Rogers it will fit, I’m on a 8 inch BDS with 35’s and my truck measures 6’8” and went on a parking garage 6’10” and its inches away from hitting, super close.
I got 35s on my 17 Sierra on a 2” level
These videos are one of the best on UA-cam
Yoooo we appreciate that so much! Thanks for watching! - Adam
his tattoo made his arm so strong and badass that it broke the bone.
You guys should really add measurements after the lift from ground to top of fender, and ground to bottom of the cab at the driver door.
With this lift, the front tires poke out more than the rear tires… Possibly spacers could take care of this, but I would like to take care of this with new wheels. Question is, what would be an appropriate difference in offset to end up with an approximate equal poke with front and rear tires?
You have a new subscriber, you guys are helping me a lot with my build. Keep it up 👍
Thank you for your subscription and for watching! Really glad we can be here to help. - Zach
That’s a beautiful truck.
6" bds w/ 35s on 0 offset sca wheels with 2" rear spacer is my setup. Looks incredibly aggressive!
Robert Brooks any picture?
any rub????
Would love to have seen a view from front and back of truck with the 35s on it and 33s
I had it done to my 2017 love it
Did you go with 35's or 33's im interested in the build you did. Rim size offset tire width etc.?
Same here. What offset? I’m looking at this same set up ( just diff offset) 305/55/20 with a -19 offset.
6in lift and only 33s
I have leveling kit and 35s lol
You need a simple $50 level kit to put 33s on that truck.
Clearance, angles, and the looks is what most people look for when they buy lifts
.exactly
Yep
ok? whats that got to with lifting it 6in.... it looks better lifted 6in then a leveling kit. plus you still need to trim to fit bigger tires then 33s 6in lifted up.
You talked about flex a couple of times but there's nothing about this kit that would increase articulation. You need longer struts up front and probably a different set of leaf springs in the back. Simply putting 6" spacer front and rear will not increase flex at all because you still have the same limitations at play, you're just taller now.
He was really just looking for fender/wheel clearance from what I could tell.
Im running 26z on my 14 gmc no problems
Umm I fitted 35 on a 3 inch leveling kit and only had to trim a few pieces
yeah these videos seem like theyre mostly for pavement princesses who wouldnt know what to do if their tires started to rub. giving them the ease of mind to say you can fit 33s just fine but might need some work to fit the 35s. its like most of the lift videos for the gmc or chevys with the square wheel wells saying "with this 5" lift you can now safely add 33" tires" when most of us know you can fit 33s or 35s on a leveled truck with very minor fab if any.
Wow u didn’t do the same angle when u did stock suspension
But wouldn’t you have to replace the ball joints on anything higher than a 3” lift? I think that’s too much on stock ones
Can you do a video that shows the cutting you have to do?
Why didn’t you put 35s on it? I run 12 wides on 35s on a 6” lift and it doesn’t rub at all, even when flexing.
My 15 has 35s on 20 ×9 nu rubbing luv it
hmm didn't show putting on the lift, with a 6" lift most trucks won't fit in a standard garage
Will it be the same with some 22×12 on 33s with a 6in lift?
Do you have better handling and cornering with a 22 inch wheel vs a 20 inch wheel when riding 33s?
I love the 35's on 6" lift bds, but going off road on hills kind of sucks, rubbing alot and its annoying. Might go with 33's... options?
Go with 33's
Would you have good clearance with 33s on a 3.5 inch lift?
If the offset was 0 should be just fine. Also depends on the width of the wheel and tire.
I recently ordered lugnuts for my 2015 GMC Sierra and they are half the length than what came stock, looks like acorns. I'll be contacting you very soon.
Most Gm trucks have a G80 locker so didn’t matter if that tire was in the air it still would’ve gone up that hill, why didn’t you guys go up the hill the exact same way you did with 33’s on no lift ?
Because Ford all the fuckin way no Government Motors over here.
Yes i like this setup!! PERFECT!!
Did the lift come with a splash shield for the engine or were you able to keep the original one on there
i have 2011 silverado 1500 with rc 6" and 35's but i mostly daily drive and some drag racing and offroading
Drag racing ? Hahahhahahaha
Jesus Christ they so scared of some trimming
at 2:48 can someone please tell me what the plastic part that holds the mud flaps is called that the tire is touching? i may have broken mine while taking the mud flaps off all around the truck. and i cant for the life of find what they are called besides mudflaps
ZombieApocalypse the fender insert ?
I hate lifts were the front is higher
How much does this setup cost?
If you like your truck don’t shove blocks above your shocks do it right
Will this truck fit through a car wash?
14’ Silverado LTZ Z71 2.5” Level & 33-12.50x20 Mud Grapps Little Rub.
ZachManZ71 you think 4” lift would solve it? I’m looking to upgrade my 17.
Bullshit my 35’s rub and I’ve got the 6” lift lmfao
That arm is a drinkin injury if I ever seen one
Looks like they used, "used" rear lift blocks! Lol.
I have 35's on just a leveling kit on my 2015
Matt Morris same
I bet you go through a lot of ball joints!
Bull shit I got 33.5 on 2018 Z71 stock height no rub at all I think I can go 34.5 inches just go 295 not 305
a 6 inch lift requires a 35" maybe a 37"
What I’m seeing that though it a lift a lot of the drive components are lowered a lot! How bad does this effect ground clearance???
I dropped the lift on my hand half way through the video 😂🤣
Chevy Silverado: 6” lift to clear 33s
My ford ranger: stock suspension not even close to rubbing with 33s
Silverado:😯
But dude it's a Ford ranger ... The square wheel wells even though they're a pain in the ass look clean. Just takes some coin to pull off.
Casey Manns I actually love the square wheel wells too that’s another thing I hate about the 2019 Silverado is they got rid of them . Check out my insta @d_abel12 to see my truck
how tall is this guy?
Not very... That 6" lift with no side steps makes it fun for a 5'7" guy like myself to hop in and out! - Adam
My wife is that hight
@@tacticalcanadian2722 height*
man those tires look so tiny on a truck lifted 6in. i got 34s on my truck just on a 2in level with no rubbing. and just take that ugly " front splitter" off. its just for "better" mpg on the 4x4 models they put on
Nice great info
Why does he keep calling these 33’s when they’re 35’s.
Because they're 33s, not 35s. 😉 305/55R20s work out to 33.2 inches high by 12 inches wide. -Zach
Why they build these trucks so big and the tyres never seem to fit the look lol
Where are you located I have this same truck and want this same thing done
Hey great video! I have a question about brakes. What is the best brake kit that won’t break the bank but is still good for an 8 inch lift with 20 inch rims on a 35 inch tires. Can you do a video about brakes? Thanks. Love the content. 🤙🏽
You definitely don't need to break the bank on a big brake kit. If you're looking for an improvement that'll make stopping larger tires easier, the Tow & Haul kit from PowerStop works really well. Here's a front and rear kit : www.americantrucks.com/power-stop-z36-extreme-truck-tow-brake-rotor-pad-kit-front-rear-14117-sil.html
It's a little over $400 for the entire kit which isn't bad! Hope this helps! - Adam
AmericanTrucks Chevy & GMC thanks Adam. That will definitely be my next purchase! I have a question about stabilitrak and 4WD flashing on the DIC on a 2018 Silverado 1500 LT Z71. I just got an 8 inch BDS coilover kit installed and the stabilitrak and 4WD occasionally pop up on my DIC but not on the actual gauge cluster. Also, when I have cruise control on, sometimes it shuts off for no apparent reason. Have you heard of problems like this after a lift is installed? Thanks for the info.
Lift kits bad for highway use, that and just stupid. Worse thing one can do.
How much should I expect to get a 6” lift kit instal ? I know the price may very from shop to shop but I’m asking so I can have an idea
why do you people not understand that the "Square" wheel wells have absolutely NOTHING to do with what size tires you can put on a GM truck, the only thing thing that matters is the shortest diameter of the opening and the offset of that diameter to the center point of the hub, if anything a "Square" wheel well is actually a much bigger opening than a perfectly circular one of the same diameter
Thanks man, this helps a bunch as i just got a 2018. Cheers
Mike Y you don’t need much to get 33’s you can put a 33x12.50 on the factory 18’s with no rub and I’m on a leveling kit no need to blow that much just for 33’s
@@marcusmendoza9354 hey thanks man. Mine actually came with 17's. And i would like to remain around the stock width of the tires, just go taller (33s) and have them stick out about 1/2" to 1". Any suggestions? I kind of want to stay around the 17/18 inch rim
I have to agree with Marcus. I have a 2014 ( basically same wheel wells). I have a leveling kit with 33x12.5x18 wheels. I like a little fatter tire compared to stock so that’s why I went with 12.5. I have no rub at full turn. You mentioned you would like the tire to stick out of the wheel well a little. This all plays into tire offset and backspacing. Mine are 0 offset with 5 in back spacing and it sticks out about 1 in with 12.5 tires. I would also encourage you to visit Extreme customs website and view their gallery. You can put in all kinds of options and it will have people’s photos with those options.
@@thelargeone7523 thank you kind Sir
Mike Y are you wanting to go to an after market wheel or try to stay on your factory wheel ?
So 33’s will fit my 2019 Silverado 4x4 Leveling kit?
Javier Landeros what wheels do you have on your truck after market or stock wheels ?
Marcus Mendoza yeah man. Well I posted. When I posted I had stocks but I installed a 2in leveling kit with some 20x10 fuels with some 33’s. No rub at all!!!!
@@javierlanderos1234 wats the offset of your fuel wheels? Thanks in advance!
All show no go, typical kids truck.
I'll change the spindles to 3 inches bigger, do I need a longer sway bar link or a sway bar drop kit ???
Hi ..when u change the spindles for 3 inches bigger it need a sway bar drop kit ??
Anyone in North NJ looking for a installation shop with good reviews?
Homie broke his arm putting in the lift kit
I have the same set up on my 16 Silverado but I do feel like I have a loss of power and it doesn’t tow as good , will Changing the gear ratio bring that back to stock performance if so what gear ratio do you recommend?
Changing the gearing in the rear end will definitely help! Hard to make any specific recommendation, because it depends on what you want to accomplish, and what gear ratio your truck is currently running. Check out your truck's RPO option codes (sticker in the glovebox) and you can see what you've got now. That will give you an idea of where you need to go as far as upgrading. 3.73s or 4.10s are a popular choice for running 33 inch tires on these trucks, but again, that will depend on what you've got currently and what you want to do with the truck. It won't be a cheap upgrade, but if you want to get rid of that sluggishness you feel, especially when towing, upping that gear ratio will make a world of difference.
-Jake
Will it fit 35s
You may need to do some trimming, but 6" of lift will definitely fit some 35s! -Zach
I just purchased some 33 inch MT for my 2016 Silverado on the stock wheels and I don’t get any rubbing on regular street and highway driving. But if I were to go off road a bit I’m afraid they may rub in the front when turning or on dips. Do you recommend just a normal leveling kit?
St Michale For sure. Adding a leveling kit would eliminate any rub. Any type of level kit would work. Just do a few minutes of research for the best brand leveling kits.
So like did dude just broke his arm mid filming or....
if i put on a 2 inch level, will it fit 22s on 33s with a -44 offset?
Ew why would you disgrace a truck in that way
every ones personal opinion :) you build your truck your way
Anything can fit, how bad it’ll rub is the question, so -44s on just a leveling kit is looking at a some major metal trimming
For the front end part of that lift, is there much cutting and welding, or is it a fairly simple bolt on?
you have to cut on a few things but no welding.
M K ok thanks. Good to know
Robert Morrison some kits have reenforcement plates that are provided for you too weld in fro structural purposes but that’s all optimal
Marcus Mendoza thanks good to know
There is a good amount of cutting for this kit. The big thing is that a lot needs to be lowered (crossmember, sway bar, differential) so the cutting makes way for those drop brackets and relocation brackets. After cutting there is no welding, but painting is recommended to cover the bare metal to prevent rust. It's an involved process, but with the right tools it's doable. We should have a full install video out soon! - Adam
Can I run the stock 20 inch wheels with this kit?
Nice vid, those wheels are ugly as sin...
Lol us ford guys can fit 35s on a leveling kit 😂
Good for shortcuts to get to back to the shop...
I'll never own another ford...giant pieces of shit.....I've learned and went GM!
Yeah but your wheel wells are massive and take away from the tire size
But the engine can’t push em. Lol
How about a 6in lift with 20x12 -44 and 35s? Will it rub under normal driving conditions?
Yes u need trimming
I’m running 37s on and 26x14 no problem
where is the link for the 33 inch tires...
You gotta heart the negative comments too.
33s are way too small when paired w/ a 6” lift. That size of tire belongs on a mid-size truck: Ranger or Colorado. Heck, 33s are barely larger than stock tires. I can fit 35s with no lift on my Jeep JL as a comparison. The big wheels don’t help - looks scrawny.
How’d you break your arm??
I dislocated my thumb and ruptured a ligament working on a different vehicle. Cast is almost off! - Adam
You got a new subscriber! Would a 6” lift be the minimum for 33” tires?
Thanks for subscribing! At not at all, you could go with a 3.5" and fit 33s just fine! -Zach
need to take the rear lift out.
Ppl who actually USE their trucks don’t do that.
f150 4x4 can fit 33s straight from the factory. I guess that was the smart thing about round than square wheel wells.
MrInzombia that combination wouldn’t work on an F150 either. It’s not the 33” that’s the problem, its the offset and the fact that those 305/50/20 are 12 inches wide. You can put a 285 (32.8) on a factory Chevy rim and there is no issues what so ever.
How tall is truck
What happened to you
Location?
Maple Grove Raceway in Pennsylvania! -Zach
Do you guys have that wheel on your website
We do! Check it out! amtrucks.at/2GYGrH9 -Zach
8:05 as he turns the wheel to the left it does make contact
It doesn't
I want that kit.
Couldnt you just run smaller rims to fit the 33's?? Like 17 or 18in rims to fit the stock suspension?
Smaller wheels like 17's won't clear the bottom of the tie rod end stud. Since a lot of the suspension positioning has changed due to the drop brackets, the stud rubs the inside of the barrel of the rim. Now a lift kit that doesn't use such large drop brackets might not have that same issue. Also, 20's look just awesome. Hope that makes sense! - Adam
Pretty sure 33in tires dont change depending on the rim
@@danemorin3705 i mean 20in rim vs 18 rim... wouldnt it make sense that the tire itself would have more room?
@@TheGumbi22 not if the tire height and width are the same the only thing that changes would be the sidewall height
Bets video ever
I wish you used factory wheels. Once you manipulate the offset you can't say "factory" anymore as it pertains to the geometry.
Adam Costa yep, negative offset and a tire that is 12 inches has nothing to do with a round or square wheelwell being a culprit of fitment
TheBig V8 you’re right. Geometry plays no factor in life.
Would 33s work on a 4" lift?
I have a 2018 Silvy Z71 Crew with a 2.25" TrailMaster Leveling kit and easily clear 33x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on 18x9 +1 Fuel Krank wheels with no trimming or rubbing lock to lock and they fill the wheel wells just right, the tire side walls show about an inch out of wells (pretty beefy tires). Just make sure you don't have too much negative offset on the wheels. Trust me you don't need a 4" with 33's, it's a waste of money and you'll have too much wheel well space and 6" needs 35's to look right.
@@chadd3207 I'm looking at getting Moto Metal MO970 with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 285/70R17 with the same paint job as the truck in this video. I'm just worried about clearance
@@Kirbykfed89 If you're installing a leveling kit 33x12.50 fill the wells better. The 285/70's will rub without a leveling kit so you'll have to do extensive cutting and it may still rub, that's the size I was looking at before I went with the 33x12.50 being a bit taller and wider with no trimming or rubbing after the 2.25" level. It's just right and 2.25" is the most you want to go with unless you want to frequently replace balljoints because the angle is too much for them and the CV joints as well.
33’s work on a level
Yes! Usually throwing on at least a nice leveling kit will provide enough clearance for some 33's, but offset is something to keep in mind when doing so. 4" + 33's would be a good look! - Adam
Great video
Thanks for watching! -Zach
I wish they put every black wheel in a pot and melted it..they look horrible. Might as well have wheels with no hub caps. Same thing.
What was Chevy 🚬 when they designed those wheel wells? They changed that up real quick in the newer models.
Them " 33's " gonna ruin your acceleration and 0-60 times you will need to go to a Lower axel ratio like 3.73 !
