Are you located in nirthrast Tennessee? I moved back home to my carmel,th to look after my elderly 85 year old father. I recently bought a 2024 zr2 in harvest bronze metallic color. Thinking about replacing the stock 17 inch wheels and stock Goodyear wrangled territory m/t size 285/70R17 tires. Might go with 305/70r17 tires by either Toyo,Cooper or Yokohama brand tires.
I know this is a older vid but why did you have the wheels turned in the final shot to look at . it hard to get a good look of what its like with the wheels turned next time straighten the wheels after you show tire clearance
Not sure of what everyone is complaining about with the driver side coilovers bolt but I used a long extension and got it from the top and it was cake. Had about 15" or so inches worth of extension and rachet. Came right out. Them started it by hand and used the same extension and rachet to tighten it back down. I installed the lift coils so I was installing the same bolts.
I have 33x12.5 on mine, I actually did a 3 inch in the front, and thats all I had to trim as well. I was real worried about it, but was relieved that I only had to cut that tiny piece off.
You aren't kidding those nut were a pita. I put the diesel springs in at the same time . much better ride and stance. Iused my 5th wheel hitch to swap out the springs.
They thought I was gonna give 18k for a single cab at Morristown Chevrolet 2012 model silverado and the guy said we can’t take 13 for it we got more than that in it and it’s been a month since I looked at it and I told the guy I guess it will sit there and I drove by last night and the stupid things still there
Just put a leveling kit in my zr2 a week ago, knew the strut nuts were in a bad spot and thought about getting a flex head wrench, but I thought it would be fine. Definitely, definitely not fine. Hated life for sure after that.
I would look at going with a leveling kit and sticking with a +10 or stock offset wheel. Just a tad of plastic trimming and you can fit 33s leveled. You can run 35s with the BDS.
Came across this video & happen to have the exact same set up as far as wheel size but i'm running a Ridge Grappler AT and some led bulbs. I agree it really makes these trucks stand out for the price.
For the the s10 you could have made it way better for 1/3 of the price of the Colorado. I just bought my dream truck f250 powerstroke now my gm Sonoma is going to be running dana44s e lockers with 35s. 410 gears can't wait to build it.
Sounds like a good build... this platform is 20 years newer with twin lockers and double the power. For what I want to use it for this is superior to my old rig. The s10 is a great truck to start out in. No regrets buying it but I needed more space.
Awesome job !! That looks so much better. I just bought a brand new 2020 ZR2 and I’m starting mods already. I’ll get to the lift when I get a few more miles under her. Great vid !! I subscribed.
Definitely getting a sub from me man, love the video. Nice to see someone that actually knows what they're doing, and actually explain it, and say which parts are a pain in the ass haha. Thanks man
ZR2S ARE THE BEST got a 2001 ZR2 King Cab I 2001 ZR2 Blazer would not trade them for anything I've had a 2010 Wrangler and I have a 2011 Cherokee Overland 5.7 Hemi out of all of them I love my ZR2 Blazer
It looks great man u did a great job man 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I have a GMC CANYON and I put a rough country leveling kit raise it up 2 inches in the front cuz it sits low stock but I want it a little higher any advice on wat I should do 🤔 ur calorado looks great
Have you found a need to add a diff drop like the one Peak sells? Some ZR2 owners have discovered some issues that are resolved with a diff drop to better correct some angles. Thanks.
So far I haven’t seen a need for that.. I’ve had the truck offroad and on 3 wheels. I’m sure with lots of abuse it could cause trouble but for moderate weekend warriors like myself it’s fine.
I watched big frog’s video and did it his way. I think it was easier than the included directions. I didn’t need to remove the whole coil assembly. Took me like an hour and a half for both sides in my driveway. Either way, job got done bro.👍
Great video. How are the CV angles affected by the increased height? How much did the angles increase over stock? I’m concerned that they’ll be too steep, causing issues or premature wear/failure. Thoughts?
So far it’s been great! Compared to my other trucks the brightness is on par with them. I can’t really say one is significantly brighter than the other.
