- Oh God, this is confusing.
(beep)
- [Woman In Black Sweatshirt] Alright,
I'm gonna put both of yours back here.
- [Brad] Shut up.
- [Cameraman] Okay, recording.

- Hey guys, Brad here with Custom Offsets.
Got another episode lifts and levels.
This one's gonna be very special.
It is a Superlift, this is the first Superlift
that we will be installing here at this shop.
We recently just started selling Superlift.
And we're excited to get this one in here
and check it out, and see what their product's like.
(rap music)
This one's gonna be a six inch,
it's going on this 2500 Suburban here.
But this particular kit will fit...
Hold on, it's kind of confusing.
'01 to '06 non-HD 2500's, so like an Avalanche 2500,
Suburban 2500, or Silverado 2500 non-HD
and also 1500 HD's this kit fits.
So let's go right to the front,
you got your lower control arm drop cross members here.
They come with this nice glossy black finish on 'em
and then this particular kit is upgraded.
Superlift offers Bilsteins as the upgraded shock,
you know BDS and all of them, Fox,
Superlift does Bilsteins as their upgrade,
which are a nice quality shock.
And then moving down we got our new lift knuckles here
for the front, differential drops for the front diff.
We have our sway bar drop brackets
as well as the new skid plate
for the diff once it's dropped down,
'cause it's gonna be hangin' down,
give it a little protection with that.
They give you the differential brace, oopsies,
bing-bong, oopsies, they give you the differential brace.
This is going to be for the new torsion bar drop,
and then CV axel spacers, blocks for the rear,
and let's get it installed, Jerry's late.
- Why you gotta look at me like that.
(hip-hop music)
- Hi guys, so we got this six inch Superlift installed
on the Suburban here, the old three quarter tons of fun.
And we just wanna show you the pieces
once they're installed on the truck
because seeing it on a bench is no fun
and some people don't have an imagination.
First things first, lower control arm drop cross members,
something that you see first
so I'm gonna talk about it first.
These are what lowers the control arms down
for the bottom so that they're in a proper alignment
for the new knuckle, you have the front cross member
and the back cross member.
Differential drop, that's an important piece
as well and for this kit, it's nice,
they actually have a brace that they bolt
onto the differential there and it connects to the
lower cross member here and braces the front differential.
Then they give you the skid plate as well,
since it's all lowered down, you wanna give
it a little protection, Superlift also provides you
with these spacers here, as you can see, for the CV axle,
and that's so the CV axles don't over-extend
and you blow apart your CV axles, that's no fun.
Sway bar drop brackets, bring the sway bar down,
to close to factory location, and then the new lift knuckles
which provide lift and also offset your ball joint angle,
which is gonna allow you to have a proper ball joint angle,
obviously the truck's in the air so it's at full droop
but once it's on the ground you'll have
a nice ball joint angle, and then Bilstein shocks
on this one, Superlift has the option to upgrade
a lot of their kits to Bilstein shocks
over their standard super ride shocks,
so that's a nice upgrade, it's a 5100 series Bilstein shock.
And then, moving back, torsion bars, as you can see,
here's a torsion bar, the drop bracket here,
which drops the whole torsion bar cross member down
to give you the proper angle for the torsion bar.
So moving around to the back,
pretty simple straight-forward stuff in the back here.
Just like most other kits, standard blocks in the back,
these are a tapered block, to help roll
your pinion angle up so you have the proper pinion angle,
your pinion isn't diving into the ground
and you're blowing U joints out.
So you don't wanna install those backwards either,
'cause that happens, sometimes people don't realize
that it actually is tapering and they install 'em
backwards and then you're differential
is just like draggin' on the ground.
Okay, and then they rounded off here
with some Bilstein 5100s in the back as well
to match the front, like I said,
Superlift is one of the ones that offers this upgrade,
which is a nice upgrade, Bilstein is a quality shock.
Made in Germany, look there's a picture
of the Nurburgring on the shocks, so you know it's good
because there's a picture of a race track.
It basically can keep up with any German vehicle
around the Nurburgring, basically is what that means.
So I'm pretty sure that's what the owner intends to do
with this truck, he actually said,
"I wanna build something that's lifted but I also
wanna be able to take it on the Nurburgring,"
so that's what we're doin' for him.
Yeah, that's pretty much it on this, blah blah blah.
(beep)
On this lift kit, waitin' for some torsion keys
and then she'll be done, six inch Superlift.
This is Brad, I hope I don't have to film this again, peace.
- [Man] Sorry, Brad.
