Did mine in january almost a year ago. Ive offroaded and towed 3 quads on a car trailer alot, so far the whole setup is doing awesome. Clears 35s with no worries on stock wheels.
That’s good to know! I will have to tell him about that. I can’t remember now if he just wanted new wheels or thought he needed them, but that trucks gonna look awesome on 35s.
@@cam2ss1le14 So I am honestly a Jeep guy 100% when it comes to off-road vehicles. That being said these ZR2s are awesome! They look amazing and from what I’ve seen they have some good components underneath. I haven’t hit the trails with one but I bet they can hold their own for sure! I guess it depends on what you’re wanting to do with it. If you’re looking for something to hit hard trails and want the best performance off road I would say go with a Jeep. They are out of the box going to be better off-road, stronger parts underneath, and cheaper to upgrade. If you’re looking for the occasional easier trail and just want to get outdoors I would say go with the ZR2 or even the new Tacoma. Maybe that helps? Thanks for watching!
Awesome and thank you! I will be working on some content I filmed today on the same truck. He got some new Icon upper control arms and some sway bar drop brackets from Level Up so as soon as I get caught up on editing I will get that out!
That is a good idea for sure. However I haven’t ever done it on any projects I’ve done over the years and never had an issue. I usually just be very mindful of maintaining positive control of the spindle.
Awe that’s really unfortunate! It does sit really high for midsize truck. He brought it back today for some upgrades and I noticed how it was sitting just as high as our Wrangler on 37s and he’s still rocking the stock wheels and tires right now. I hope you just say goodbye to parking garages and go for the lift!
They are built really well and look amazing for sure! Go for the lift it isn’t too expensive but gives it the perfect stance in my opinion! Of course you’ll have to start looking at some new rubber after that…
@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms at first I saw yours was different than mine and I was frustrated that I was gonna have to take mine apart to fix it. Then I went back and saw how it was originally. Sorry that I pointed it out. It just bothered me. lol. Love the truck! Mines just like it.
@@olenmcrorey3924 No problem I’m glad you spotted it! It’s gonna bug the heck outta me until I can get a chance to fix it! 😂 It shouldn’t hurt anything in the meantime but little stuff like that drives me crazy.
So he actually brought it back to me today for some new upper control arms and sway bar drop brackets. He is still rocking the stock set up on wheels and tires and gonna be saving up for wheels next. In my opinion the 35s will absolutely work with the set up he has right now. There’s always a chance of some rubbing when flexed and turning just right but just looking at it I don’t think it will be a major issue.
I’m up in Amarillo Texas so about 6 hours from you. I’d absolutely knock it out for you, but that’s a pretty good haul. Thanks for watching and you can reach me directly through Instagram!
@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms I didn’t see any bumpstops in the video but wanted check. The new Tacoma no longer has dedicated bumpstops and they are blowing the shocks through the tophat 😂
@@Jay-me7gw Oh dang 😂 I was thinking the GMC Canyon had the hydraulic bump stops and it was an option on the Colorados but I don’t know if that’s just in the rear.
Just wondering cause I do not care for working on cars, simple stuff and general maintenance is fine. But for a job like this, what would you charge? (Want a 24 Colorado zr2 as my next truck and build it into an overlanding build so exactly what you’re doing here)
So the majority of the work I do is for veterans or law enforcement and I try to keep my prices as low as possible when I’m doing installs. For everything I did in this video I charged $600. That was without alignment obviously since I don’t have the equipment but should still be factored into prices when you’re doing a budget for your build. Thanks for watching and hope you join the off-road community soon!
@ that’s amazing that you do that! Bravo 👏🏼 now it’s just waiting to see how much the price comes down in the next year or two. The 23’s seem to have come down a little in price. But I’ve been researching a lot into what all I wanna do to it. A very fun but expensive process. Might be worth the road trip once I get said vehicle. Hope your channel continues to grow, I enjoyed watching. Keep up the amazing work you do 🙌🏼
@@ChristianSmith-ei8yp Thank you and I hope I can be some help for future projects! I’ve gotta throw it out there since I’m a Jeep guy above all… generally speaking if you go with a solid front axle it will cut some cost on upgrades when looking at suspension. It’s also inherently stronger when off-roading. Not trying to change your mind because these Colorados look amazing, but just some food for thought. The gladiators are ugly as hell until you get them fixed up a bit, but depending on what all you want to do with it that might be a cheaper option and a more capable rig. Again just my opinion on it all. You’ll be happy either way I’m sure!

awesome video, and loved you being so specific on the TQ specs
I try to do that for every install video I do. I know how much of pain trying to find those numbers can be! Thanks for watching!

Always enjoy your videos! Love how you explain things throughout. Excellent job!
Awesome thank you!!
Great video. I am looking at getting a Colorado ZR2, but i am on the fence. After the mods, the trucks looks awesome.

Awesome! Clear and to the point instructions 👍
I just picked up the same kit for my ZR2 and your video popped up just in time lol.
Glad it helped!
I put this same lift on mine. Turned out great. Still rides great. Had the same problem with the diff rolling.
Nice! I think the quality was excellent on all the products so nice to know they are still holding up. Thanks for watching!
Great video. I also have a 2024 Colorado ZR2. Appreciate your content.
Awesome and thank you! I will be working on some content I filmed today on the same truck. He got some new Icon upper control arms and some sway bar drop brackets from Level Up so as soon as I get caught up on editing I will get that out!
Been eyeing the icon stuff for sure
@@Olpops73 They definitely put out a very good product! I was really happy with the quality of the UCAs I put on his.
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
Are those steps factory or after market. what brand are they if after market.
The steps are from N-Fab 👍🏼
It’s good practice to takeoff the axle nut so you don’t pull apart the axle when moving around the spindle
That is a good idea for sure. However I haven’t ever done it on any projects I’ve done over the years and never had an issue. I usually just be very mindful of maintaining positive control of the spindle.
I had planned to do the lift/level on my 2024 until I noticed that the stock height is 82”. Most parking garages have a minimum clearance of 84”.
Awe that’s really unfortunate! It does sit really high for midsize truck. He brought it back today for some upgrades and I noticed how it was sitting just as high as our Wrangler on 37s and he’s still rocking the stock wheels and tires right now.

damn, loving my 2024 ZR2. only has 500 miles on it lol. wishing it was a little taller and bigger tires (former toyota fanboy)
They are built really well and look amazing for sure! Go for the lift it isn’t too expensive but gives it the perfect stance in my opinion! Of course you’ll have to start looking at some new rubber after that…
I noticed one of your leaf spring shims started between the top block and leaf pack and ended between the leaf pack and axle.
Dang good catch… I see that now.
That’s frustrating lol

Can we get an update on the tires? Was he able to do 35 tires
So he actually brought it back to me today for some new upper control arms and sway bar drop brackets. He is still rocking the stock set up on wheels and tires and gonna be saving up for wheels next. In my opinion the 35s will absolutely work with the set up he has right now.

How much did you pay for the kit?
This exact kit runs 350$ on levelupsuspension.com but they have a few different options on their website so it’s definitely worth checking out!
Where are you located? I have two bulging discs in my neck and would love for you to install my 2/1 lift. Your install is amazing quality.
I'm in rowlett tx
I’m up in Amarillo Texas so about 6 hours from you. I’d absolutely knock it out for you, but that’s a pretty good haul. Thanks for watching and you can reach me directly through Instagram!
What brand of step bars are these..... i have 2024 zr2 also , i want those step bars ....
I’m not sure I will reach out to him and see if I can get an answer for you!
Ok thanks, appreciate it
I am so sorry it took me so long to get back to you but the steps are from N-Fab!
So are the shocks on the ZR2 internally bump stopped? Meaning they have no external dedicated bump stop?
To be honest I’m not entirely sure. I know in the rear you have traditional bump stops, but in the front I’d have to do some more research on that.
@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms I didn’t see any bumpstops in the video but wanted check.
The new Tacoma no longer has dedicated bumpstops and they are blowing the shocks through the tophat 😂
@@Jay-me7gw Oh dang 😂 I was thinking the GMC Canyon had the hydraulic bump stops and it was an option on the Colorados but I don’t know if that’s just in the rear.
@@Jay-me7gw That could just be on the Bison too. I’m not near as knowledgeable on these and the Yotas as I am with the Jeeps.
@@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms yeah that’s the Zr2 bison and AT4X AEV edition that have the hydro bumps
Where are you located? Looking to get this done on my white zr2?
I am in Amarillo, TX. You can reach out to me directly through my instagram.
I hate it when people say "whenever" in place of just "when". It makes it sound like you don't know when you did what you did.
Hmm never noticed it before but makes sense.

I wanna replace my rock rails with steps but it looks so bad with the steps
Get the Oedro brand. They look great on the zr2
I feel like the aftermarket for these trucks will be growing fast. You should be able to find something you like for sure.
I Have a bison
Nice! Those pretty much have everything you need for the trails right out of the gate!
@BreacherUpOffroadCustoms yes
