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’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!
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!
@@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.
It’s good practice to takeoff the axle nut so you don’t pull apart the axle when moving around the spindle

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!
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!
Always enjoy your videos! Love how you explain things throughout. Excellent job!
Awesome thank you!!
Great video!!!
Thank you!!
Can we get an update on the tires? Was he able to do 35 tires
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 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.
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.

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.

@@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
