My s-10 is set up on a 6 inch rough country lift and I decided to rebuild the front end and rebuilt the front end with Brand new stock parts (keeping the lift) everything fit right and it has no problems
Thanks man ! Just working hard and enjoying this beautiful creation by vehicle. ! Hope to do another overland trip this weekend to cars and coffee. Camping out the night before
I grew up in Mount carnel. My mom grew up in the fairview community just west of Dillon Taylor funeral home and Stewart's Hill area in Washington county. My dad grew up off cherokee road about 2 miles away from cherokee elementary school. Cling denton road is across from that huge house where they hols weddings in their huge barn. Have you ever gone 4 wheeling with Joe Jones from fairview community? He has a nice old jeep. He is my 1 st cousin on my mom's side. My grandpa Joseph Lester Jones kept the burial plot books for fairview cemetery. He knew lots of families from the jonesborough and sulphur springs area who had relatives buried in that cemetery. I am kin to all jones and most campbells living in northeast Tennessee.
I plan on getting this lift kit. I also have a 2 body lift. Will 33.12.50s work? Maybe even with 2" spacers? Stock rims but have a d525 3" backspace like yourz just need 3 more.
Another great video man, thanks for the info on your experience with the 32x11.5's, the backspacing, and trimming. Been thinking about changing up the stock wheels and 31x10.5's on my ZR2 Blazer
Not a problem ! Just wanted to make this because the forums are all misleading... I can tell you this. I’ll still rub a little when I go wheeling this weekend. Only at full lock on hard turns. If you want big tires I’ll guarantee you a 1 inch spacer on the stock wheels would allow you to do about anything without rubbing. I just couldn’t ditch my fuel wheels just yet
Hello Travis. Drew here was wondering where I might find that pre runner bar you have on your truck. Been looking but can't seem to find one for an 03 sonoma . Any help much appreciated. Thanks Drew.
I know this is a is an old video but the more videos I watch of yours more I know that we live in the same place! I’ve grown up here all my life! Love your videos bro! I’ve got a 98 ZR2! Thanks for the cool videos
Hey Travis. Where in the world did you get that prerunner bar?? I'm searching everywhere.. had one on my 97 zr2 blazer but can't find one for my 03 crew cab. HELP..... LOL. Thanks
Hey! At 1:07 in this video you start driving and the ABS light and the E Brake lights are both on. My 03 Zr2 does the same thing. Have you fixed that or know what the deal is with that?
How do you keep your zr2 in allignment. I have a 2004 gmc sonoma with a 3inch lift and 31s A/T. Cant keep it in allignment. If you have any suggest lmk.
I ended up selling mine but it sounds like you have worn tie rods or ball joints. Might try cranking the torsion keys back down just a tad. I did a diff drop to help prevent that. It helps.
Did your zr2 come with leather seats I have a truck just like yours It has cloth I'd like to bgg upgrade them . Also did you have any rust on the cab corners my father in law bought mine new I'm the second owner I cant find anyone to replace the passenger cab corner
Hey, Travis, I have an s10 blazer and I was trying to add mods to it could you please post the links or show me what site you used to get some of your upgrades.
I just got a s10 zr2 and I’m having trouble finding the right size tiers. It had a lift to it. Moneys a little tight is there a way you can point me in the right direction
I would look at Craigslist or marketplace on Facebook for 31x10.50s or if you’re on stock wheels.. 32x11.50s would be max tire for “safely” driving/ light wheeling your truck. Without huge trimming or more than 2.5 inches of lift that’s all you can do.
Hey man I just subscribed, I just bought an 02 Zr2 and was wondering what lift kit you bought, only thing I can seem to find is the rough country 2.5 lift which only lift its 1.5 if it’s a zr2. Let me know if you can man, thanks.
Travis I've seen a few of your videos ive had on 01zr2 blazer for about a year now. I'm looking at some 15x8 wheels and the 32"falcon a/t I don't wheel it because we have no trails where I'm at.
If you're fitting 32x11.50 on a 2" rough country, could I fit 33x12.50 with a 2.5 in rough country lift and a 2" body lift with tbar cranked? @Travis Campbell same backspacing on rims. Just 15x10
32x11.5 M/T on my sonoma zr2 no lift :) 5.5 b.s. trimmed. I can get away with 33x10.5 no rub. 11.5 barely rub because the wideness. Go to Moab Utah great place. It nice to see someone that overlands a zr2 too.
jessemeanlt1 I have 31" A/T on my ZR-2 Blazer with stock wheels. Since you have experience with both, do you prefer the taller/skinnier 33s or the wider 32s?
Darth Vanquish I like 32"x11.5. It look real nice with the wider wheel. You will need to hammer the wheelwell. It rubs if on full turn and hitting a bump at the same time. 5.5 back space is a must.
Where did you find your wheels man? Is your lug pattern still 5x4.75 ? I've been having a hard time finding nice wheels in the size. Or did you get wheel spacers and or adapter ? Custom built wheels ??
Any specific reason you decided to sell this truck bro? I have an 03 I’m wanting to lift, but am scared to. What do you recommend? Leave it, or lift it?
My s-10 is set up on a 6 inch rough country lift and I decided to rebuild the front end and rebuilt the front end with Brand new stock parts (keeping the lift) everything fit right and it has no problems
awesome zr2 ! - its the first car i will keep and invest some money- - perfect combination of power- size- offroad capility ;-)
I'm running 33x12.5 on my '02 Zr2
What lift do you have on it?
How?
2.5 rough country lift comes with diff drop brackets. Truck looks sweet Travis!! Love the roof top tent bro super cool!!
Lived in Nashville 16 years I have been in the tire business all my life. You are truly blessed young man. Driving my Noma right now LOL.

Hello Travis. Drew here was wondering where I might find that pre runner bar you have on your truck. Been looking but can't seem to find one for an 03 sonoma . Any help much appreciated. Thanks Drew.
That one was from 4 wheel parts.
I know this is a is an old video but the more videos I watch of yours more I know that we live in the same place! I’ve grown up here all my life! Love your videos bro! I’ve got a 98 ZR2! Thanks for the cool videos
Hey Travis. Where in the world did you get that prerunner bar?? I'm searching everywhere.. had one on my 97 zr2 blazer but can't find one for my 03 crew cab. HELP..... LOL. Thanks
Hey I got it from 4 wheel parts. Sold the truck so I don’t have part numbers or any other info. They are universal for an s 10
Good job on modifications for zr2 very impressed with the way you take care of it
Thanks !
Travis Campbell also have zr2 black and graphite flares no rust any where you truck is my truks gole
Hey! At 1:07 in this video you start driving and the ABS light and the E Brake lights are both on. My 03 Zr2 does the same thing. Have you fixed that or know what the deal is with that?
It's the ABS controller. It can be fixed, you can search TH-cam. I just picked up one from a junk yard.
What bed rack are you running on the back of the ZR2 ?
It’s from hot metal fab
I just found your channel, and I've watched a couple of your videos. You deserve way more subs man!
Thanks man ! I’m trying to get the channel to the next level. I’m posting 1-2 videos per week due to full time job.
What are u calling slight torsion key turn ?
Cranking the adjustment bolts up to lift the truck “ leveled”
Where did you get the pre runner bar?
I had the 2.5 inch rough country kit on my s10 blazer, in my experience I went threw lots of pitman arms and lower ball joints
I no longer own mine lol went to a ZR2 Colorado
Good idea lol, the only things good in the RC kit is the upper a-arms and shackles, heck with everything else
does the lift kit youre using drop the front diff down ? with the cut and replace bracket
Yes it comes with a bolt in diff drop bracket. Sold the truck but the new owner uses it everyday
What is the brand of that pre runner bumper you added?? I want to get one for my truck too. It looks great!
How do you keep your zr2 in allignment. I have a 2004 gmc sonoma with a 3inch lift and 31s A/T. Cant keep it in allignment. If you have any suggest lmk.
I ended up selling mine but it sounds like you have worn tie rods or ball joints. Might try cranking the torsion keys back down just a tad. I did a diff drop to help prevent that. It helps.
How was rubbing at full articulation with sway bars disconnected. Looking to do the same set up to me blazer
What all have you done with the suspension? Looks exactly how I want mine to!
It’s a 2.5 inch RC lift with a little torsion crank
Did your zr2 come with leather seats I have a truck just like yours
It has cloth I'd like to bgg upgrade them . Also did you have any rust on the cab corners my father in law bought mine new I'm the second owner I cant find anyone to replace the passenger cab corner
Hey, Travis, I have an s10 blazer and I was trying to add mods to it could you please post the links or show me what site you used to get some of your upgrades.

I know this vid is OLD...... But- What headlights are those?
what lift did you put on, trying to find the right one for my zr2.
Hey bud just got a zr5 looking for a good roof rack it’s the 4 door version any tips ? Love the channel and the zr2 content keep it up
hey man did you find anything bc i have the same truck and i’m looking for one
What brand lift ,size and price?
2.5 Rough country.. I believe they are $499 from the manufacture.
Travis Campbell thanks so much I have one myself best truck ever
do you think you could fit 33’s and 12 wides?
Hey man I just subscribed, I just bought an 02 Zr2 and was wondering what lift kit you bought, only thing I can seem to find is the rough country 2.5 lift which only lift its 1.5 if it’s a zr2. Let me know if you can man, thanks.
Nvm just had to read the comments, I see that the lift you have
It’s a good lift man.. crank the bars a little extra it helps. Mine are maxed out but it’s cranked pretty hard... still daily this truck
Travis I've seen a few of your videos ive had on 01zr2 blazer for about a year now. I'm looking at some 15x8 wheels and the 32"falcon a/t I don't wheel it because we have no trails where I'm at.
Have you done the bravada front axel swap yet?
If you're fitting 32x11.50 on a 2" rough country, could I fit 33x12.50 with a 2.5 in rough country lift and a 2" body lift with tbar cranked? @Travis Campbell same backspacing on rims. Just 15x10
32x11.5 M/T on my sonoma zr2 no lift :) 5.5 b.s. trimmed. I can get away with 33x10.5 no rub. 11.5 barely rub because the wideness. Go to Moab Utah great place. It nice to see someone that overlands a zr2 too.
jessemeanlt1 I have 31" A/T on my ZR-2 Blazer with stock wheels. Since you have experience with both, do you prefer the taller/skinnier 33s or the wider 32s?
That’s awesome ! I may throw the stocks on with a spacer and 33s for a moab trip.
Darth Vanquish I like 32"x11.5. It look real nice with the wider wheel. You will need to hammer the wheelwell. It rubs if on full turn and hitting a bump at the same time. 5.5 back space is a must.
Travis Campbell backspacing is everything. And 33"s will make feel slower because of the gearing. Moab was fun for me. good luck!
Darth Vanquish check it out the 32" on Instagram jessemean383
Where did you find your wheels man? Is your lug pattern still 5x4.75 ? I've been having a hard time finding nice wheels in the size. Or did you get wheel spacers and or adapter ?
Custom built wheels ??
hey man did you ever find anything because i’m looking for some
What part of TN you from? I from Lexington is why I asking
East TN near Johnson city area
Bardstown area here. I'd love to have any advice on blazers.
The tires on the truck look good to me. I like the Maroon Dodge in the background too.
Any specific reason you decided to sell this truck bro? I have an 03 I’m wanting to lift, but am scared to. What do you recommend? Leave it, or lift it?
Hey man did you ever lift your truck I have a 02 zr2 I was wondering how it went because I want to lift mine as well
I need this set up for my truck
That's funny I just caught that on the video my second time watching it I worked for Discount Tire company for a long time LOL.
What year is your zr2?
I got 35s on mine
Looking good ....keep it up
15x8 or 15x10?
Jay Powell 15x8
Yes 15x8s
What size is the light bar?
It’s a 32 inch I believe.
Did your lift come with the diff drop brackets or did you have to order separately? Wanting to lift my zr2 but not sure what to go with.
Blake Fletcher yeah, rc 2.5 lift comes with diff drop
It will come with the brackets you should be good to go
get rid of the fender flares you can run 33’s without them
Sas
Your tie rod angles and cvs are terrible man. Solid axle swap it.
