I started with about 100 subscribers at the beginning ogf 2021 and now have 832….so it has been growing steadily since I have been working hard to grow it.

Hey I have a 04 chevy and it’s also dropped but the ride is very rough the suspension is stiff and I think it’s because it’s to low but I’m not too sure since I bought the truck already lowered and I’m also new to the dropping trucks and what it all means and also why do these trucks lean like that to one side and is there a fix to it because mine does it too
To figure out why your truck rides so rough, you need to check your shocks and look into exactly what lowering parts are on your truck. The lean is called the “Chevy Lean” and it is from the factory frame not being square. The easiest way to get rid of it is to lift the front driver corner suspension about 1” or so.
You can pull the 1” isolator in the front to drop it another 1” in the front. Any lower and you run out of camber adjustment in the front. On the rear it is as simple as running a lowering shackle. Your limitation from there will be hitting the axle on the c notch.
Thanks for the video ,, you explain how to do the drop step by step ,,and the camera work and sound is great ,, other videos are dark /unfocused /or too far away ,, sound is garbled ,, or stupid music is playing ,,, But your videos are great for info /crystal clear /focused/ well lit ,, and the camera positioning and lighting you do must be a bitch to figure out sometimes ,,in those cramped spots , but you do, so thank you for your commitment and time to do these videos
This drop is 4” off drop in the front and 6” in the rear total when the drop is complete. This was just the rear. There os a video of the front and a video of my review of this IHC drop kit so be sure to check those out. Thanks
@@jasonportillo2717 oh, for the c-notch. Yes, it is the numbers shown in the video. I would have to go back and watch it to get the numbers again. I don’t remember them off the top of my head.
Get the Belltech Street Performance Silver shocks as shown in the front end lowering video. There is a direct link to them in the video description. On the rear end just use the IHC shocks that come in the kit.
Then you would beed 2 of these for the back end. www.amazon.com/dp/B004BRHOB6/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_WXPQVNZS52907FM79TPY?linkCode=ml2&tag=whiplashmotor-20
The purpose of the c-notch is so that your axle doesn’t ride on the frame or only have around 1” of travel before it smacks the frame. You need the extra clearance because you are moving the axle up closer to the frame.
Dang, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. There is one thing that I have had an issue with and that is the upper ball joint getting grease into the rubber boot area past the joint. Have you had any luck with that? My grease that went in it still on top of the joint.
@@whiplashtv2022 naw mine went in good and stayed there. You mentioned the Chevy lean? Man I thought these kits were supposed to fix that issue with their sink in lower control arms?

@@slidinsidewayzproductionss7906 Thanks, and you can believe that I am going to keep working it for sure.
Great video as always, truck looks great! Can't wait to see the front end video.
Thanks, the front end video premieres tomorrow at lunchtime.
Did the c notch align perfectly with those measurements?
Yes, it aligned perfectly with the way that I showed in the video.
@@whiplashtv2022 I’m glad I seen this video before starting my install, not even IHC has a video explaining this good, thanks man
Thanks for the kind words. I hope that you enjoy the other videos on the channel as well.
Milwaukee ftw! Cant wait to see it finished 🔥
Yes sir! Those tools help a ton!
The wheel offset is 15 mm is that -15 or positive? Great video!
Thanks, and they are -15mm offset

Great video! Can’t wait to order my ICH drop kit!!
Thanks! Which drop kit are you ordering?
You used your oem U bolts? Did they reach enough perfectly
Oem u bolts and they worked just fine
What you think about shock extenders? They needed?
It is not needed with this kit.
@@whiplashtv2022 okay I see thanks, did you do anything to fix the Chevy lean?
@lrojas8965 this kit fixes the Chevy Lean.
now if you have this kit and wanna go lower what else do we have to buy to make it go lower im new to the dropped trucks?
You can pull the 1” isolator in the front to drop it another 1” in the front. Any lower and you run out of camber adjustment in the front.
On the rear it is as simple as running a lowering shackle. Your limitation from there will be hitting the axle on the c notch.
I also have the 2in drop shackles to fix the lean after I install the flip kit I might set the left side up on the 1in and the right on 2in.
The IHC Suspension kit takes care of the lean so you won’t have to do that.
Well described step by step...subscribed!!
Thank you very much!
What tire size was you running?
275/45/20
Say the ball joints that come with the kit go bad.. will any replacement fit?
I am not sure about that, but if they don’t take grease properly then I will be figuring out the answer to that question.

You’re very welcome. Thanks for the high praise. Many don’t realize the time and effort that goes into making these videos.
I have a question can I use this drop kit in a Chevy Silverado 2001 zl1?
Does your Z71 have a torsion bar suspension setup?
Will that c-notch work on 05 crew cab Silverado ?
Yes, I believe the same kit is used for the crew cab.
@@whiplashtv2022 thank you
You’re welcome
Just to clarify it’s 3 inches to the front and 2 to the back? Great video btw going to be doing mine soon
This drop is 4” off drop in the front and 6” in the rear total when the drop is complete. This was just the rear. There os a video of the front and a video of my review of this IHC drop kit so be sure to check those out. Thanks
@@whiplashtv2022 I was referring to the cutting. Measure from the center 3in to the front of the truck and 2 to the rear on both sides correct?
@@jasonportillo2717 oh, for the c-notch. Yes, it is the numbers shown in the video. I would have to go back and watch it to get the numbers again. I don’t remember them off the top of my head.
great video carnal, best explained👍
Thanks
How does it ride? Is it bumpy
It rides very good. Not bumpy at all.
If I get the bell tech shocks what kinda shocks will I have to get for the on the 5\7 drop?
Get the Belltech Street Performance Silver shocks as shown in the front end lowering video. There is a direct link to them in the video description. On the rear end just use the IHC shocks that come in the kit.
@@whiplashtv2022 what if I wanna use the bell tech shocks instead of the IHC what size shocks will I need for that 5/7drop ?
Then you would beed 2 of these for the back end.

@@whiplashtv2022 5.0 to 7.0? Right
@@yogidiana8820 yup
whats the pupose of a c-notch? what if you do a flipkit without c-notch?
The purpose of the c-notch is so that your axle doesn’t ride on the frame or only have around 1” of travel before it smacks the frame. You need the extra clearance because you are moving the axle up closer to the frame.
@@whiplashtv2022 thanks for responding appreciate it
@@Stoverboy You’re welcome!
what size tire you runnin on your setup ?
I am running a 275/45/20 all the way around.
Where did you say you bought the kit thks
From IHC Suspension
Great video
Very helpful video!
Thanks! Glad that it could be of some help to you!
What sz drill bit for the c notch holes ?
I can’t remember at the moment if it was 3/8” or 1/2” but I think it was one of those 2.
Cleaaaan
Thanks! Front end video will come out next.
I installed same kit and they were no instructions, really wish I would’ve seen this vid before I installed mine
Dang, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. There is one thing that I have had an issue with and that is the upper ball joint getting grease into the rubber boot area past the joint. Have you had any luck with that? My grease that went in it still on top of the joint.
@@whiplashtv2022 naw mine went in good and stayed there. You mentioned the Chevy lean? Man I thought these kits were supposed to fix that issue with their sink in lower control arms?
@@whiplashtv2022 definitely need to try the spring spacer you used cause I’m sitting 1-2 inches lower than the rear
@@larryaguero6575 Yes, and that is in the Front End Video here on the channel.
what size of shocks did u use?
The kit came with rear shocks. The front shocks are in the video description.
Can I put this drop with 17s?
Yes, you should be able to run 17’s with no issues. Usually drop spindles limit you from going too small on the wheel size.
Do you have the link for your kit
