Looking to do a number of others. One tip for eliminating wheel spin when tightening the front spacers/wheels though, if you have a 4WD. Instead of wedging a bar between the brake pedal and driver's seat, you simply put the truck in 4WD, and it locks the wheels fine for tightening purposes. Video on, dude. Watching them all!!!

I added the 1.5" wheel spacers too and the bolts poke just a tad (you really have to look)... However, the good thing about those new wheels is they have the indentions in the back that allow the wheel to still sit flush on the spacers so we are still safe. No cutting. The little poke sits right into the openings. I also have the leveling kit (which I love)... Please let me know if you see a difference in mpg after doing these two mods... Looking awesome!

Another great tutorial from Justin's Truck Garage. :-) The brake caliper paint makes the calipers look powder coated. I'd leave the ride height just where it is, but that's personal preference. What I like is that to the untrained eye the Colorado still looks stock. Even to a "trained" eye I can someone thinking "this had been modded, but what did he do?" You didn't leave a link where one can buy that custom brake pedal depressor breaker bar. lol Once again you've proven that necessity is the mother of invention. Save the Wave.

Thanks, Peter! That innovention was born out of necessity for sure! When you don't have a choice you'll figure stuff out for sure. I am very pleased with how the truck turned out and you're right. While you can tell it's not stock, it's not a radical departure from stock either. This is pretty much how I wanted it. Keep the look but improve on it. That custom brake pedal depressor is a Snap-On breaker bar so you wouldn't even want to see the cost on that piece 🤣🤣

I just installed a 1.5” front lift kit and the spacer was 3/4” and now the front and back are sitting right at 37” . My stock tires are 265/60-18. I drove it around the block and took it right to the alignment shop. They said the toe in was off 3-4 degrees and it was a good thing I took it to get an alignment after I test drove it and broke in the spacer, before it tore up my tires. Will check my clearances and see what the tallest and widest tire I can fit without it rubbing. I want to avoid cutting or modify anything. I have Goodyear fortitude stock tires and want something a little bit more aggressive. I’m hoping I can go a little bit more, possibly a 275/65-18 .

Love the videos, looking to get the Colorado in diesel soon so your vids are perfect. Did you notice big difference in mpg with the lift/spacers and minus the air dam? Not expecting to get ridiculous mpg in a truck but don’t want to sacrifice to much of the added mpg for the cost of the diesel. I know yours is gas but figured any loss would be noticeable regardless of power train. Keep up the vids!

Thanks, man! I didn't notice any difference at all with the addition of any of my mods as far as MPG goes. I average around 17 to 18 mpg and I have since the first day that I bought the truck. It's not the greatest gas mileage but it hasn't changed!

@robshelton6374 5 жыл бұрын

Hey man I just bought a 2019 Colorado Z71 and your vision for modifying the Colorado is excellent. I was pretty excited about using the fender flares and wheel spacers to give my truck a wider looking stance. HOWEVER, in my search for 1.5" wheel spacers I had a Chevy mechanic explain to me how they were a horrible idea and would likely result in a prematurely worn out hub assembly, bearings, and suspension. He went on to say that if/when that happened and I brought my Colorado to the dealership for "warranty work" (to repair/replace the hub assembly - the repair would not be covered because of the wheel spacers precipitated the damage and voided the warranty). So, before I bought anything I did more research. I spoke with 2 different truck modification shops in Springfield. Both agreed that the wheel spacers were a bad idea for the potential damage mentioned earlier. They suggested that I instead by wheels with a 0 degree offset as that would most likely get my tires in alignment with my fender flares without the wear & tear on the front end of my truck. What are your thoughts (i.e. are you concerned that the wheel spacers have such a bad reputation and may be an extremely costly alternative to just buying wheels with a (0) offset?

@robshelton6374 5 жыл бұрын

"buy"

@HorsePowerObsessed 5 жыл бұрын

I have heard on and off about possible problems. My personal experience with them has been nothing but good. If you find and talk to any reputable mechanic he will give it to you straight. Spacers DO take life off of suspension components but we're talking years and thousands of miles down the road. This isn't going to blow your suspension apart in 3 months. Basically, yes it takes life off of your parts, but it's minimal at worst.

@JazEmminger 5 жыл бұрын

I have a question about the leveling kit. Does it do like it says, "leveling" the truck so that the rear levels out to the same height as the front? I'd like to raise mine about an inch or so also, but I like the look of the rear being slightly higher than the front. How do I go about accomplishing this?

@HorsePowerObsessed 5 жыл бұрын

The 2-in leveling kit levels out the front and rear. The 1-in that I did here still has a factory rake to it meaning the rear is still a little bit higher.

Are the Goodyears noisy at all and do you have experience with the BFG KO2 or Hankook DynaPro MT? The stock tires are just not cutting it for what i need it for and i love myself some aggresive tires but that dont have alot of road noise. Also, would you recommend plastidiping the stock rims, getting them powder coated, or buying midnight rims, idk how much you paid for the set but im slightly envious! Beautiful build

@HorsePowerObsessed 5 жыл бұрын

Thank you! I do have some experience with the BFG KO2 tires. My friend has them on his Toyota. They sound exactly the same as the Duratracs that I have on my Colorado and in my opinion the KO2's don't look as aggressive. I don't think they are loud they do have a noise at low speed that the stock tires on the Z71 didn't have but it highway speeds they sound exactly the same. I personally would either powder coat or buy the midnight edition rims if you can. I found these used off of a ZR2 with less than 2,000 mi on them for $1,000. That included everything tires, rims, TPMS, etc.

Hello again HPO!! Just a little advice, when you tq down anything, not only in the correct order, but in increments, like say 30% at a time. With 140, you could go 40,50,50, that helps keep aluminum parts from possible cracks. Good luck! Then re-tq after 100 miles. Also wheel spacers do add extra forces to the bearings.

I also had a bed liner sprayed in, Tri fold aluminum tonneau cover, vent visors and a bug deflector, window tint, LED's all around, alot of the same things you've done. I've done some other mods to personalize my truck that you haven't but that what It's all about... If you like it and it's done tastefully, then that's really all that matters.

instead of jamming that bar into your nice drivers seat and risking permanent upholstery damage...just use the same bar with a rag around it and put it between the protruding wheel lugs and lower the floor jack enough so the bar will not allow the hub to turn because the end of the bar is on the driveway and can't rotate. The rag prevents flattening the threads of the wheel lugs..easy breezy
