Very good video I went to 4WP and got my truck inspected and the guy told me my 2007 Silverado would not clear 35s with the oem replacement king shocks I ordered.
Hey 454, Love this video, super informational and this is the exact setup I'm looking for as far as kings shocks F+R and 17" Methods. What is the part number for the Kings shocks? I was not able to pull it off even from their site. If Im doing this myself are there any suggestions you have? such as you mentioned the res. mod in the rear and fender mods aswell? Thank you, Have a good day
I have Method 315 wheels 17x9 with the higher offset just doing a spacer leveling kit for now should I stay with 33’s or can I do the 35’s with fender mod or is the higher offset going to need more than just fender mod for 35’s?Thanks for your uploads keeps the motivation high!
Would you be able to demonstrate how the mod is done? I want it done right and the shops around here in the Midwest aren’t giving me the confidence I want to have it done. I don’t want them bashing my truck with a hammer and I suspect that could happen.
Unfortunately I don't give away the process of how to do it. On our IG there are highlighted stories that give a decent idea but thats about as much as Ill go into the process. Kinda a shop "secret"
@@454motorsports6 yeah but a 0 offset wheel would have even larger backspacing so my question is; with this setup in this video do the tires rub the UCA’s?
Good morning...I wish I had seen this video earlier I just bought 17x9 -6 off set.. and I wanted to run the 2.5 leveling kit on 35s...but now I don't know if that gonna clear..Pro Comp Trilogy Pro Series 74.... any info or help would be great
You can regear for 35s but i wouldn't call it necessary. Personally I dont like to regear unless we are going up at minimum 2 gear sizes. Moving up 1 gear size costs quite a bit and doesn't give a whole lot of change
Just curious, I know a ton of people have issues with sway bar rubbing at full lock with 12.50” wide regardless of tire diameter. Did you experience this on this setup ?
Not a great idea. Leveling with a coilover and adding a spacer on top of that is going to ruin your tie rod angles, balljoint angles, and CVs if 4wd. 37s also probebally still wouldnt fit and FOR SURE would destroy the fenders if you ever bump the truck out to full bump
where is the spacer then? can also guarentee angles arent "perfect" with 3.5" of lift unless your using a lift spindle. Theres a reason coilover manufactures say absolute MAX of 3"@@KapenW17
ya for a 4wd thats absolute max lift i would run. Even that is higher than we typically like going. As far as clearing 37s with that setup on a 2018 and under chevy good luck without fiberglass. @@KapenW17
Not sure on exact specs for every wheel/tire and lift combo out there. When we do fender mods however we cut the fender back as far as we can regardless of wheel/tire being run. If more is needed your looking at cutting parts of firewall/ cab mount out and plating that back in.
Clean truck. I noticed this truck doesn't have the 2 speed transfer case for 4 low since not a Z71. Do you feel that's something really needed for a daily trail truck? Thanks!
@@Realricketycricket Not all of them do though, typically if they don't have the Z71 package they only have the 1 speed. Not sure if that's for all years though.
@@jimmyteter I'm pretty sure all newer trucks got a 2 speed transfer case. I got a 2017 custom, it got a 2 speed manual transfer case and even a locking rear differential
@@jimmyteter Googled it. It turns out that GM trucks with the lower gearing, for gas milage, comes with a single speed transfer case. I drive trucks because I need a truck, not for gas milage, so I never even bothered looking at those trucks when shopping for a truck.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you!

Hear that alot. While techincally hes right without modifying the fender at all, its possible to fit them. Just takes a bit of work
Eric chacon look up NorCal mod.
Specs of those wheels?? Awesome truck!!!! Thanks for share

I needed 2 inch wheel spacers so I didn’t rub on my control arms. 33/12.5/18 zero offset (stock wheels) 3” level kit. Gotta cut to fit the 35s
How much do 35s sap the power? I assume this Chevy has the 5.3L V8.
Would stock 17 in wheels and 35x12.50r17 work on my 18 silverado 1500 with 2 in spacers?

I will sign a non disclosure and pay you lol
@@aaronhartung3563 lol. sorry buddy. that would open a can of worms of guys asking the same thing.
@@454motorsports6 understandable, you must get a lot of people asking. I appreciate the reply!
This is what I'm gonna do--thanks!
Do the tires rub the UCA’s? According to DK their UCA’s can take a max backspacing of 4.75” and an 18x9 wheel with +1 offset has a 5” backspacing
As stated in video. 0 offset
@@454motorsports6 yeah but a 0 offset wheel would have even larger backspacing so my question is; with this setup in this video do the tires rub the UCA’s?

Should work with clearancing or one of our fender mods on the rear of the fender
Thanks for the info.. so -6 offset will still be ok... cause in the video you say 0 offset
Your talking about 1/4" difference in offset between 0 and -6. Either one will need clearancing but both should work
Do you have to re-gear for 35 tires? I don’t know if I want 33 or 35 I have a 2018 Silverado 5.3 L. How much stress is a 35 compared to a 33? Thanks
You can regear for 35s but i wouldn't call it necessary. Personally I dont like to regear unless we are going up at minimum 2 gear sizes. Moving up 1 gear size costs quite a bit and doesn't give a whole lot of change
Can It handle 35s on the whoops like that though or do you need to do something like the dirt king fender kit?
Very curious on this too. I know it’s not going to go full gas on whoops, but if it bottoms will they hit up top?
@@madsteam77 yeah exactly. I ain't tryna go full send over a whoop on a mid travel but I ain't tryna die of old age before I get through it either.
@@ahmedmanajid 454 got back to me on IG they don’t hit up top on full compression. Follow their IG. Lots of good info.
@@madsteam77 thanks for the update bro.
Just curious, I know a ton of people have issues with sway bar rubbing at full lock with 12.50” wide regardless of tire diameter. Did you experience this on this setup ?
Nope. No rubbing issues
Does this change the CV angle by a lot?
No, it’s completely fine. I’ve had a 3” level on mine for 87k miles
Have y’all ever tried clearing 37s on a 3.5” level with a coilover plus a spacer?
Not a great idea. Leveling with a coilover and adding a spacer on top of that is going to ruin your tie rod angles, balljoint angles, and CVs if 4wd. 37s also probebally still wouldnt fit and FOR SURE would destroy the fenders if you ever bump the truck out to full bump
@@laxdogg23 I’m on a 2.5” lift strut plus a 1”spacer and my angles are perfect. I wasn’t taking about stacking a spacer on top of 3.5”

@@454motorsports6 I lied I thought I had 2.5” struts. Just doubled checked there only 2”😂🤷♂️

How much would somethin like this cost?
454, would this work with MT's instead of just AT's?
What offset is that a 0 or a -12 and which offset is better?
We try to always stick with a 0 offset with aftermarket wheels
Can you guys tell me which front and rear shocks these are? Im trying to order them now
Check out Dirt Kings Website. They carry all this.
Not the king shocks, they slinging their own shit now
Cant you just jack the vehicle up and rotate the preload ring with a spanner wrench to compress it?
On some vehicles yes, but not these, it just bends the tool
@@454motorsports6 Oh, that sucks. Truck is simple and badass though.
What mod do you have to do to clear the shocks in the back?
Any extra cutting with a -25 offset if the lift is 3½ inches?
Not sure on exact specs for every wheel/tire and lift combo out there. When we do fender mods however we cut the fender back as far as we can regardless of wheel/tire being run. If more is needed your looking at cutting parts of firewall/ cab mount out and plating that back in.
What’s the cost for all this
Please email sales@454motorsports.com for all pricing
Is there a link for the parts used in this video. I want to do it like exact.
Does anyone know what gears the truck has?
stock. believe 3.73 but could be wrong on that
🤙🤙🔥
2:30 is that your piss next to the front tire?? LOLZ
Clean truck. I noticed this truck doesn't have the 2 speed transfer case for 4 low since not a Z71. Do you feel that's something really needed for a daily trail truck? Thanks!

It turns out that GM trucks with the lower gearing, for gas milage, comes with a single speed transfer case.

Does it hit the top on full compression?
