CCE 1" Leveling Kit Install: The Strut Removal Problem Nobody Warns You About

In this video, I take you step by step through the full installation of a CCE/Level Up 1" front leveling kit on my 2024 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss. This DIY guide covers removing the stock struts, adding the 1-inch spacer, and reinstalling everything back into the truck. The process isn’t as simple as it looks in other YouTube videos—this is real-world wrenching with all the challenges that come along the way. From jacking the truck, disconnecting the tie rods and A-arm, handling the ABS/speed sensor lines, to the tricky strut removal and reinstallation with the new spacer, I walk through each stage so you know exactly what to expect. Whether you’re working on a Chevy Colorado Trail Boss, ZR2, or similar GM platform, this install will help you level out the stance of your truck for better looks, improved approach angles, and clearance for future upgrades like 33” or 34” tires. ⚡ *Key Highlights:* Full step-by-step CCE spacer install Tips for handling strut bolts, A-arm, and tie rod removal Real-world DIY challenges and solutions Before & after stance with the 1-inch front lift Why I chose a 1-inch lift over a 2:1 setup with diff drop If you’re thinking about lifting or leveling your 2024 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss, this video will show you what it really takes to do it yourself. 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to Driven276 for more installs, truck mods, car shows, and drives across Northeast TN, Southwest VA, and beyond.
