Nice truck but definitely needs a stance maybe some wheel spacers and paint match the grille and bumper. If you had wheels with some chrome as well it would tie in together. I don’t know if you plan on it or not just saying.
It’s far from complete for sure. Kicking around what to do next. Watching the beating my paint matched blue truck takes, it makes me appreciate the chrome but i could definitely go for gloss black this go around! I appreciate the input. Spacers will be here next week
I’m kinda in a noisy place so I’m not aure i understood, what did u put on the rear to level it ? I have a refresh and want the same tire size and brand with 18” wheel , did this leveling kit gave you any problem ? I had a fodge with biltein 5100 after about 80k the whole front was shaking and meanwhile i love the look leveled i hated the issues…thanks
Deaver Mini Pack in the rear buddy! Makes for a progressive leveling kit. When the time comes; i can help dial you in & get you the parts. I stock a lot and i’m a Cognito authorized dealer too. ScovelMotorsports.com
Just the way they came out of the box. I had actually turned them up but it was too high so i put them back to the setting it was out of the box and was happy
May i ask is your truck 4x4 and if not do you think it’s worth getting kings on a 2WD. I have the same truck but it’s 2WD but I’ve been really looking into getting Kings. Nice truck 🙏🏿
I think a leveling kit is better on 2WD trucks. My truck is 2WD. Leveling a 2WD has less parts to bind up if lifted too high on a leveling kit. If i had got a 4WD, i would have probably did a full lift kit buddy
Absolutely; i thought it rode well before, this absolutely checked off all the boxes. It’s so smooth. We were just talking about this today driving it too. I’m extremely happy with this truck & suspension
The video was filmed over the course of a week & lost track on that stuff honestly. Wasn’t till i was editing that i realized it. So it has 3” of droop travel from where the suspension rests on the weight of the truck till tires off the ground. It lifted the truck right at 3” as well. No rubbing at all on these tires. Trimmed a small piece of carpet in the wheel well. Feel free to shoot me an email at scovelMotorsports@gmail.com & i can send you the list of the parts buddy
@@americanduramax got it, kind of like when the rear shock absorbers bend the metal when they are over tightened. More than likely no torque specs just hand tight. Thank you
I have the exact same color Silverado RST 2021. Not duramax but V8. Getting ready to get a lift leveling kit. I’m going with 3” front and 2” rear. I have 18” wheel twitch 33” tires. But want 35” tires with 20” rims. Will that work? Let me know thy
Absolutely this will work. We have these kits with the ELKA 2.5 shocks ready to go. Should be on our website ScovelMotorsports.com I also just had a guy send me pics and i posted it on our Instagram @scovelmotorsports too King is great but the wait time was nearly a year long. It shouldn’t have been that long It’ll work with your setup and ride way better than stock
Did you have any issues with the 17" inch wheel fitment? All of the kits I'm seeing recommended a 20" wheel.. I really don't want to go larger than a 18" wheel, I would prefer a 17" wheel for more sidewall. Did you have to use any spacers ?
It depends on the wheel. It’s a super close fitment. I have a full set of brand new spacers i can sell you really cheap if needed. I bought them just in case but didn’t need them. Feel free to reach out to me for the wheels & kit at ScovelMotorsports@gmail.com or Our instagram. I can get you setup with wheels to clear it
Not “needed” but highly recommended IMO. The stock truck bottomed out on the freeway the same day we left the dealership. Really weird & not progressive at all. I have them in stock; we sell quite a few of them
Mini packs help the ride a little and can get you some lift in the rear if you need it. Had em on my truck but ended up switching to m27 Deavers. Custom valved king 2.5’s out back with deaver full packs ride really nice but idk if it was worth 3k tho lol.
Hard to explain but shows it well in the instructions except that the UCA’s didn’t have holes so i used 2 zip ties which is also nice because it has give incase they were to ever get caught on anything
@@americanduramax I installed my set from Superlift with 3" and it cam with a 1"-1/2 block. Just a little rake but not as much as stock. I was gonna adjust the front to get it level but I didn't, decided to keep the ride quality Rather than the right height.
Yeah man that’s the question how much do you have in total in suspension I have the exact same truck and it’s my dream to have that set up. Bad ass work by the way
@@joootooobboosheet2486 you get what you pay for lol. Spend 2k on a rc lift that won’t ride any better than stock or spend 4K and take whoops at 50mph. Shit my $100 leveling kit worked off-road but it didn’t ride worth a fuck
I'm 99% sure a woman designed this truck. So many things are stupid about it. I like, not saying my trail boss isn't cool. I'm just saying there's things designed into this truck that make 0 sense.
I saw you had the stock wheels on for a brief shoot in the video. Did they clear the upper a arms without spacers? Thanks 8:02
yes they did but keep in mind, those are stock wheels + stock tires. larger tires on stock wheels would rub

Whats your MPG after the new setup with the DMAX. Would like to get that Gen2 soon
We are getting high 20's highway buddy. window sticker is for 22/33 but we get about 20/29
Great looking rig
Thank you! I appreciate it

No issues here at all; rides way better than stock
Love the stance! Did you have to adjust your coil overs up or down or did you install them as is?
Just the way they came out of the box. I had actually turned them up but it was too high so i put them back to the setting it was out of the box and was happy

So the ride quality is better than stock? Rides smooth? Want to do to my z71 Tahoe and stick rides smooth already.
Absolutely; i thought it rode well before, this absolutely checked off all the boxes. It’s so smooth. We were just talking about this today driving it too. I’m extremely happy with this truck & suspension
@@americanduramax awesome! Gonna subscribe and if you can make a video on ride quality that would be awesome.
@@Deplozano absolutely i’ll do my best to get some
More footage!
What is that red "jack stand" you got holding up the truck?
Sunex 10T jack stands. You can get them on Amazon actually too. I couldn’t find them locally
Did you do the exhaust on that? Interested to hear about it. I like that vs the pipes behind the “hdmi” holes in my rear bumper
I’m going to but I didn’t yet. AFE makes a nice DPF back kit though that we sell on our website
@@americanduramax I saw that. A shame that no videos exist on it though. I’d like to hear some feedback and the sound.
@@Stay_at_home_rad I agree, wish there was some videos & dyno runs. I bet it has some small
Benefits as well. Sound is likely no different
Might have missed this, but what are the final number on inches of lift? Any rubbing on the tires? Links to the products?

Did u have to torque the new upper control arms?
Can't remember. I just followed the instructions. i know they like to bend the metal if they are over tightened
@@americanduramax got it, kind of like when the rear shock absorbers bend the metal when they are over tightened. More than likely no torque specs just hand tight. Thank you
@@VIVACRISTOREY- there’s a torque spec for them. I think it was like 80ft lbs with my dirtking arms. A good snug with a wrench is fine though
What size wheel and offset did you use?
What was the back spacing on the wheel?
Looks sick love it. 👍🏼
Thanks buddy!! Zero offset 17” method wheel buddy
@@americanduramax
17x8?
Thanks love that look.
@@lawn2learn yes sir!!
Nice truck
Thanks Jess!
i like those kings

Nice ! What kind of wheels are those ?
Method’s buddy!!
Did you have any issues with the 17" inch wheel fitment?
All of the kits I'm seeing recommended a 20" wheel..

@@bh069me1 running 17x8.5 0 offset method nv305’s on mine and they barely clear
Is the deaver mini leaf pack needed? I’m considering getting 1in leveling kit with king shocks
Not “needed” but highly recommended IMO. The stock truck bottomed out on the freeway the same day we left the dealership. Really weird & not progressive at all. I have them in stock; we sell quite a few of them
Mini packs help the ride a little and can get you some lift in the rear if you need it. Had em on my truck but ended up switching to m27 Deavers. Custom valved king 2.5’s out back with deaver full packs ride really nice but idk if it was worth 3k tho lol.
@@americanduramax Did you ever do a video on the Deaver mini pack? Was just looking at them on Cognitos website.
How did you attach your abs lines?
Hard to explain but shows it well in the instructions except that the UCA’s didn’t have holes so i used 2 zip ties which is also nice because it has give incase they were to ever get caught on anything
Did you adjust the coil to get a little more lift?
I did but then ran the collar back down. Lots of adjustments can be made
@@americanduramax I installed my set from Superlift with 3" and it cam with a 1"-1/2 block. Just a little rake but not as much as stock. I was gonna adjust the front to get it level but I didn't, decided to keep the ride quality Rather than the right height.
@@apr9286 I’m currently 1” taller in the front than the rear so i’ll be installing a deaver mini pack in the rear
@@americanduramax nice can't wait to see the install video and the review on it. Awesome bro thanks for sharing 👍
@@apr9286 thanks buddy! I need to find some time & it’ll be up soon!
Is it still legal to level a truck in CA?
Hahaha idk if this was serious.
Lots of harsh rules here but lifting trucks isn’t one of them. No bumper height laws etc
I know that setup is expensive 😍
Haha tad bit; but a bargain to be floating on the clouds ☁️ 😂
Yeah man that’s the question how much do you have in total in suspension I have the exact same truck and it’s my dream to have that set up. Bad ass work by the way
@@enriqueangel4001 I’ve got the same setup plus deaver leafs and kings in the rear. Ran me like 6,300$
Looks nice, but $3500 - $4500 for one of those kits? LOL, no thanks.
Lol it’s just money! Can’t take it with you when you go!
Spend 4K on a lift kit for looks or spend 4K on a kit like this that will actually work off-road
@@robp418 There are a lot of lift kits that work offroad, that do not cost what this one costs. GTFOH
@@joootooobboosheet2486 you get what you pay for lol. Spend 2k on a rc lift that won’t ride any better than stock or spend 4K and take whoops at 50mph. Shit my $100 leveling kit worked off-road but it didn’t ride worth a fuck
@@robp418 Dude, not all trucks were meant to be prerunners. Hitting whoops at 55 MPH? This kit wouldn't allow for that either, so just stop.
I'm 99% sure a woman designed this truck. So many things are stupid about it. I like, not saying my trail boss isn't cool. I'm just saying there's things designed into this truck that make 0 sense.
I got my popcorn ready haha; i wanna hear more
