- Hey everyone, this is just a video showing off a few features and aspects of my “build”. Yes this is my first truck and I know it ain’t much, but there’s a lot more to come! Thanks for stopping by and make sure to comment any questions or advice. Thank you, take care!
WOW! Those wheels and lift make that truck sweet! Much respect 👍
Much appreciated, thank you 🙏🏼
Great walkthrough. Just what I was looking for. I’m probably going to be doing a similar build just with 35s though. But the set up is really nice. Clean truck.
Thank you very much! Ask any questions you got. Take care. 👍🏻
ParkerTC it’s a very nice truck.
So it’s at a total of 9 inches of lift? And do you trust the 3 inch body lift if you ever would go mudding or off-roading?
At the time of the video it was around 9” of lift. I have it up to around 11 at the moment.
I have never given this truck an easy day at work and have never had an issue with the body lift. Other than it being kinda ugly.
But as far as functionality it has taken everything I’ve thrown at it, and I’ve broken lots of other things before anything to do with the body lift.
As far as what I used the truck for, mostly delivering tools, minor towing, and a decent amount of off-road recovery. I have pulled out a 3/4 ton cummins swapped f250 and only broke my rear end lol.
Got an 05 Silverado lt3 extended cab Rwd with sunroof and the same exact color leather interior,got everything you got except 4wd and the crew cab an mines got 3:73 gears with 285/70/17 Nitto Ridge Grapps with 17-9 -12 offsets dropStar 645 MB, and got a single cat back straight pipe dumped over axle with the biggest tip I could find.. think it’s a 5-6 inch tip, 5.3 lm7 vortec with 178 k and will smoke the tires off 😂, love your truck man 👍
Sounds sweet but no 4x4 on a truck is a deal breaker for me, but I live in northeast so it’s a necessity
Nice truck bro keep up the great videos 👍
I also have an 06 slant eye and I didn’t know I had folding mirrors until I watched this so thank you and I’m also lookng at wheels and tires and maybe a lift just not sure what size tires and how big of a lift but nice truck man I dig the look 👍
Thank you man! Yes the mirror thing goes un noticed very often, I’ve showed a few people who had theirs for 10 plus years and they’re shocked 🤣. If it’s a daily I’d recommend 7” mcghaughys and 35x12.50 and probably a 10 wide wheel. It’s a great looking setup and still practical. All depends on what you’re looking for. Good luck HMU if you got any questions
@@Parker_Garage cuz the dinguses at GM shouldve made it work how new cars do it... default setting automatically fold closrf on engine off...
@@IWillSmurfYou Oh hell no theres enuff auto shit already that gets worn out, i have no need for my mirrors to fold or my doors to auto lock, already wore out the trans linkage putting it in park to unlock 20 times a day, went thru 3 door lock switches last yr! then got in my truck the other morning had toilet paper strung everywhere guess the contactor on the electric ass wiper stuck open, that was the last straw for me had enuff of that auto shit lol im breaking out my old trusty 77 silverado step-side 4x4 something i can drive myself & steers, brakes & accelerates when i want it to! its gonna freak my kids out when they get in it they have never seen a window crank, keyed ignition switch, cassette player, its going to be total culture shock! ✌
Can’t even tell it had body lift very nice
Thank you! I tried to keep it neat as possible 👍🏻
Hi, super nice ride! I have a stock 04 1500 extended cab Z71. I was planning on getting a 6" Rough Country lift with 17" x 10" rims with a negative 24 off set and 35" x 12.50 A/T tires. Any advice on my choices or tips for me would be a real help, thank you!
Hey man! Good choice on the rough country 6” as it is a true 6” lift, as opposed to the super lift which is only a true 5” lift. However if I were to do it again, I would choose a 7” mcgaughys lift. It is a true 7” lift and you will be able to run 35s without any rubbing, cutting, or cranking torsion keys and your balljoint and axle angles will be perfectly flat (allowing best ride quality and front end parts longevity) . It does cost 700 more but your truck will thank you. If it does come down to the extra 700$ I’m sure you won’t be upset with the 6” lift, will need some minor trimming and or torsion key crank. Nonetheless you’ll get it done and the truck will look sweet 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If I already have a 6" lift with 35s (doesn't rub at all, I trimmed) would going ahead and getting the body lift be something that you would recommend If im thinking about going with 37s? I've heard some good things and some bad things about body lifts
Did you gear it cause of the lift? Just curious since I'm thinking of lifting mine also.
If you only lift it there’s no need to regear. However, If you put significantly larger tires on it, it becomes necessary to regear. By putting bigger tires, your effective gear ratio gets numerically lower (strains engine and transmission as well as slows it down a lot from a dig)
Best thing to do is to install a gear that changes your effective ratio close to stock if you do significantly bigger tires. I went with an effective ratio 4.3% lower than stock to make up for the significant amount of additional weight going from a 265x70r17 to a 37x13.50r20. Therefore 4.56 gears with 37s is 4.3% lower feared than a 265x70r17 on 3.73 gears. However if your vehicle has a powerful engine and your tire size isn’t too insane the performance will be pretty good with a similar effective ratio or no gear change at all. I simply went as low with the gears as I did because of additional weight and rotating mass.
Thanks for the comment, Ask anything else ya got. 👍🏻
@@Parker_Garage thanks for your quick response. I'm staying with my 18x12's -44 so then I think I'll be OK. Thanks for the advice man 👍🏽
My dream truck
Hope you get one like it brother! I appreciate the compliment.
Nice truck man. I have the same truck. I currently have 6 inch rough country lift and 35s. Really been thinking about converting to 37s. Would you recommend the gear change? I’m trying not to spend 4 grand just to run a bigger tire
Thank you!!!! I would say the regear is mandatory for 37s. I only payed 1145 total for the regear. I was quoted over 3,000 by other shops so shop to find a good locally owned one. What wheel size and offset are you running? That would determine if I’d do 37s or not. And what name lift. Is it a true 6” ? Thanks for the comment let me know whatever questions you got. I plan to make a driving video with the new gears. Also, the abs and brake light came on after my regear and a tune did not fix it so I’m still working on that.
ParkerTC I’m currently running 18x9. I was wanting to go back to the stock 17s if I was to the 37s and I got the rough country 6 inch and it should be true. I can tell when I have to climb in it
Rogers American that’s a true 6” lift indeed! With the stocks you should be able to run 37s with some crank on the keys and some trimming. Also 12.5 wides would be a little easier to clear, but I like my 13.50s. I have torsion keys on my truck now, since the video. It added about 2” of loft and whatever ride quality I lost is definitely worth it. Tires don’t rub and it’s finally level. So I’d be tempted to get the 37s good luck man ! Lmk if you got any other questions
ParkerTC I appreciate the feedback man take care
i’m worried about gaps if i stack a body lift on my RC lift.
hey bro i love your truck! i have a question about the exaughst, i have a 2500hd used it has a flow master dumper right before the axle, would it be safe to cut off and run like that? the flow master is to quiet
It would be safe in my opinion had no issue with mine, however it would be nice to evacuate the exhaust gas out from under the truck, I’d look into mbrp side exit exhaust, you might like that
I really like your truck! can you give me an advice, i have a 06 silverado z71 and Im from México i´m thinking on lift the truck with a superlift kit w/ Bilstein shocks 6" - 37" x 13.5 tires and 24s x 9 i´ve been reading a lot of posts and different setups, do you think this set up could work in my truck with out rubing and what more else do i need to improve on my truck ? like keys carnked and other gear upper arms etc.. apologize me by my english i´m tryng to write it the best way thanks!!!! tell me if you have IG to follow you my friend!
How you like the bodylift? Would you recommend it?
Was it worth the savings on a 10” lift?
Yes
Was it worth being able to run 37s
Yes
Do I wish I didn’t have it sometimes
Yes
If you are VERRRYYY particular about your truck like me and wouldn’t like to have it in the back of your mind knowing you have one then don’t get it.
If you simply would like to add some lift cheaper to clear a bigger tire it’s great. No one else notices i have it with the fender liners but i don’t like how it kinda takes away from my “build”
Thanks for the comment hope this helps really comes down to personal preference and goals. If you want 37s with offset on a 1500 without spending 6k on a lift it’s the only option. If you want a 35 with offset or a 37 on stock wheels get a 7-9 mcgaughys lift. They’re very affordable and ride great.
@@Parker_Garage did you rub any with the 37s? I’m trying to squeeze 38.5x14 offset on 9” of lift same truck
Great truck, love the build, and sounds awesome!😁 I am buying my first car soon and will most likely do a lot of work on it. I am hoping to score a Chevy Silverado 1500 years 1999 - 2006 or a GMC Sierra 1500 years 2001 - 2009, maybe a Jeep Wrangler. Any recommended parts, mods, feature ideas, or building advice? I also want to ask about how you hooked up the Sony Sub speakers in the back. I am wanting good sound since I love music, but don't know much about improving sound systems.
Honestly I did everything to the truck EXCEPT for the audio, I was never interested in doing car audio myself so I paid someone but it’s not complicated with some patience. And compared to other things it’s not too expensive. As far as recommendations, are you thinking about lifting it? Or just doing some performance / cosmetic upgrades?
@@Parker_Garage I would like to lift the truck 4 - 8", replace head and tail lights, possibly an exhaust system, new tires + rims, front and rear bumpers, bar lighting, and extra interior lighting. The majority is cosmetic since I do not know much about performance upgrades, but am hoping to learn more. I would like to do most of the upgrades myself, but I most likely will go somewhere for the exhaust.
You will not go wrong with a '99-'06 Silverado 1500. Best truck I've ever had.
I've got an sle and it has the power folding mirrors but no leather and I dont have headed seats but it is a vortec max package. Lq9 engine (6.0l) is that just something that came with it or do I maybe have something with your package
That’s an interestingly spec’d truck 🤔
What exactly is your question ?
hey man when you did your body lift what did you do for the tow hooks in the front
Unfortunately they’re gone. No way to retain them really
Do the 456 gears feel right on or if you would what ratio do you wish you went with?
For day to day the 4.56 are great but sometimes I wish I had 4.30s for highway mileage. Hard to say honestly but between either of those in my opinion.
Nice truck man! What kind of headlights are those? I got an 04 Silverado and been wanting to upgrade mine.
Hey thanks for the nice comment man, they are Anzo USA headlights

Is it a 1500 hd or just a 1500? And what size is the bed?
Question about the z71 package do all of the trucks of 2006 come with fender flares if they have the z71
Good question, I do not know the correct answer. But every z71 I can think of seeing had them. But I do recall seeing some non z71s with the flares. But it’s hard to know what’s been added and what’s factory.
Beautiful truck!
Many thanks sir
37 tires with a 9in lift won’t rub?
Did you need to extend any brake lines/ fuel lines when adding the body lift?
The body lift came with all the necessary extensions, if I remember correctly it’s just the steering shaft and gas tank filler neck that need to be extended. Various harnesses and lines like the trans cooler get dropped a little too
I have a quick question for you , would it fit 37’s on my 3inch lift in front is a 2006 2500hd
Highly unlikely , with a 2500 you need slightly less lift however . What wheels do you plan on running ? Stock wheels ? That can help me steer you into the direction of what size lift you’ll need. Thanks
On stock wheels you could likely clear them with some trimming . Wheels any wider than stock would rub pretty bad if I had to guess.
Truck looks awesome dude !! What size are your tires and wheels?
😂he literally told you
ran to my truck so fast but didnt seem to work with the power folding mirrors
My 2003 suburban had the power folding mirrors.
Nice truck! This is exactly what I’m looking for. Unfortunately these things are selling really high right now.
Yeah it’s crazy what they’re bringing, especially the Duramax’s
Thanks for the compliment as well
@@Parker_Garage yeah. I’m just looking for a Cateye and preferably like an 06’ or 07’. For me I’m looking for either the 5.3 or 6.2 v8. I’m 17.5 now and have a Honda CR-V 🤡 and am looking to trade it and I’ve got some money saved up too for the truck. Can’t wait till I find one someday.
Z71 has the power folding mirrors as well
i have an 2500 hd with a 6 inch lift ya think i could fit 38inch tires i found a great deal on marketplace
How wide are the wheels? And do you know the offset
so for my 35s i should run 4:56 gears?
Did you have to crank keys to level it out
Unfortunately I have my keys about half way cranked.
Luckily they’re not maxed out so it rides okay. 37s are a rough deal on the 1500s; no one makes a proper lift to clear them (under $6,000)
I got a question about those fender flares factory or do I have to add them to my Silverado?
Are they*
@@waspcosm1c901 They are factory but some of the trucks didn’t come with them, mine did however. If you don’t have them, you can add them pretty easily. All it has is some plastic push pin rivets and a strip of double stick 3m foam tape holding them on.
@@Parker_Garage ok thank you that helps🤝
Beautiful
Very kind, thank you!
Hey Parker sweet truck. quick question where did you buy the 3" body lift from ?
I got it from zone off roads website ! Thanks for the comment! And thank you I really appreciate the compliment
@@Parker_Garage thanks for your fast response
CRISPY CHEVY CHRIS absolutely! Take care
How dose she drive with those 456 gears ?
Enrique Flores Hey man, it all depends on what you like from your truck. I am overall happy with the 4.56 gears. Personally I wouldn’t go any lower with 37s. After driving with these gears and observing mileage drop at highway speeds, 4.88s would be too much for me. But regardless, the low end is awesome and it can still smoke the tires. I might make a video showing drive-ability if some people might want that. Feel free to ask more questions. Thanks.
@@Parker_Garage please do make a video of driveability.i have a 2000 silverado getting ready to do 3inch body lift and 6inch rcx lift.i know ill need gears but cant decide 4.56 or 4.88s
Dalton Fox i made a video about fuel mileage and 37s with 4.56 gears. I’d check that one out man it would probably answer some questions. I prefer the 4.56 gears. Thanks
I'm sure your mom knows
How much did your wheels cost in all
My wheels were around $1600 and my tires were around $2000. A 20x10 wheel is typically $350 and up a piece.
Do you still have the link for the tail lights?

Do an update video
I got a 05 with just a leveling kit and 35s and I barley rub at full lock😂 I also got the power folding mirrors but no leather
That’s awesome! Lucky guy I tell ya 🤣
Probably because you have a low negative offset or positive offset wheel.
@@samjohnson3376 no I got 14 wides that stick out about 4 inches or more front and rear
@@michaelwiese672 That's pretty good for a leveling kit, did you have to do any trimming?
@@samjohnson3376 yeah not to much trimming thou it fits pretty damn hood
Nice 👌
My SLT has the power folding mirrors
Do you have a link to that subwoofer box?
Not at the moment, if I remember I will look for one tomorrow 👌🏼
Sonic electronics has that box Tbox n believe for underneath as well
My LT1 came with the fold in mirrors..
Nice 👌 👋
Thanks man
Hoe does it drive on the highway can you get up to 85mph
Hey yes I can get to 85 mph but the mileage is terrible after 70 mph. I have a video showing mpg at different speeds and recommending gears for your application. Check it out, it should be your answer : ua-cam.com/video/Au6c7FflVGQ/v-deo.html

Not sure what that means 😂
I wanna buy it

Nice truck Bruh, and this is random, but your face doesn’t match your voice. Not saying it in a bad way.
🤣🤣 thanks bro. I look older now so maybe it matches better today. 🥸

Nice to have to have rich parents
Lol my dad drives a tow truck, and if you can’t tell I’m wearing a work hat and a work shirt from 2 separate jobs. 😁
Grind harder
@@Parker_Garage doubt it , but whatever
Tom Green if a 2006 Chevy with 200k miles is unattainable to you without rich parents then you have bigger issues 😂
Yeah no , hey maybe your parents will buy you whatever you want but it's beter to work for it, nice BMW in the drivewAy btw
Tom Green you like my moms car? That’s nice👍🏼
But keep denying my work to make excuses for your own shortcomings 😉
It’s easy to make yourself feel better about doing nothing when you can convince yourself that others can only be successful if someone gave them what they have.
That’s not a good mentality to be in brother, I’ll pray for you. 🙏🏼
Hey man do you have a Instagram?
Sure do brother: parkercostanza
Had a question, did the 3' zone body lift work with 35s?
I didn’t have just the body lift with 35s at any time. If you have a 2500 it would probably work. If you have stock wheels it might work with some trimming on a 1500 (the 1500s are 2” lower than the 2500s) what’s your goal? I’ll steer you in the right direction. What kinda truck and what wheel/tire do you want and how much cutting is acceptable
@@Parker_Garage i have a 04 Sierra 1500 Crew Cab, maybe mock your setup but I also want to maybe see if the body lift will work with 35s if I do a Norcal cut
@@TheJordan632 yeah it depends on your wheel width and offset mainly, if you don’t run a lot of negative offset with a NorCal its probably possible
Not interested in a suspension lift ?
@@Parker_Garage unsure as of right now, don't have $1000 for a 6 inch lift, I were to run with negative offset, maybe -12
How much did you buy it stock?
$3,300 in 2007 wrecked 🤣
It’s a nice truck I’m looking for one myself max I’ll pay is 5-9,000
@@6wade sadly 3 year ago you could’ve got one for 9, but now one in this condition is bringing around 15…. I think the market is coming back down though
