2007 GMC Sierra Lift Kit Install - Penthouse View

9. The sway bar ends needed to be moved, and there's a provided template to help line up and drill the new holes. The new holes move the ends over about an inch for added clearance when the suspension cycles.

10. After the holes were drilled, the sway bar was fully installed.

11. The strut spacer comes with detailed instructions that would take up this entire story to try and fit in here. So, be sure to follow the instructions carefully. The long and short of it: The strut was marked, so once the spacer was in place, the strut could be reinstalled in the proper position.

12. The hub and rotor were installed to the new knuckle. There is some trimming that will need to be performed on the dust shield before you can install it. Our tech used a cut-off wheel to trim our dust shield before he bolted it in place.

13. The brake caliper was reinstalled, and the rotor was cleaned of any grease fingerprints. If you don't go back and clean the rotors, you might warp them after a few hard stops because the grease will contaminate the pads and create hot spots on the rotor face.

14. The kit includes a bracket that relocates the brake line, which made for an easy and clean installation.

15. After the suspension was taken care of, the tech moved rearward and finished bolting up the rest of the drop-down brackets, including the connector plate.

16. The kit includes links and mounting brackets, which were easily installed with the supplied hardware.

17. Here's a good look at the front link setup and the drop-down brackets completed.

18. With the front suspension completed, you can really see the beefy strut spacer and you can get an idea for how cool this truck is going to look.
