cmh2001 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 OK, so I'm installing my RC 2'' leveling kit today. I did the driver's side with out too much problems. I'm following the video on you tube for it from SnowmanJohnWV. On the pass. side I'm having alot of trouble getting the ball joint to come apart after beating on it with a hammer. Does anyone have any tips on how to make it come apart? I'm not sure what it is called but it is the the one at the top of the wheel, not the one for the tie rod.

ruggedlife Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 put on your big girl panties and it it, you aren't going to break anything. i typically use a 5lb mini sledge when i break ball joints loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverado4x4 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 I have put on 4 leveling kits for people and never broke the ball joints loose, just lossened the front sway bar from the "A" arm pin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott26 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Are you sure you have the sway bar lessened up enough? I know that was my issue. Sent from my DROIDX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
