Rather than disc brake conversion, keep your eyes out for the 14 bolt rear end that came off the 6.0 and 6.2 version of your truck! Will bolt right on and it’s WAY stronger!
And they have disc brakes on them!
Really good thought! I'm going to start looking 🤙🏽
This, I’m doing the same!
Yeah was about to comment your axle is a ticking time bomb a 14 bolt is strong af
I have been looking for a conversion kit, but after your comment, I will look into a 14 bolt. This is why I read the comments. Thanks, and glad everyone makes excellent suggestions like this.
I got Lasfit lights for the front / rear / license plate for my 2021 Z71 Silverado and man your recommendations sold me in all your videos - they are AMAZING!
#3 with matte black stenciling and black out all chrome.🔥🔥🔥
Gloss and satin black for the main colors and add a hint of the Hawaiian teal to match the rest of the fleet besides the C5
You should do starlight headliner🔥🔥
It’s awesome to see how your channel has grown, i remember when you were packing everything up and moving to Texas and had an experience shipping the OG Chevy. Awesome how things have come over the years. More camera man please!!!!
This channel is the reason why I woke on my own stuff and challenge myself to do things I normally wouldn't! Getting ready to install my first level/lift onto my 15 GMC! This build on the OG truck is going to be EPIC when all finished!!!!
Awesome man. Good luck. The reason I watch this channel is because I don’t work on any of my stuff but love watching others build cool ass trucks. Lol I wish I had the skill and patience to do so. But either way, good luck bro.
Thanks for being a part of it! 🤙🏽🤙🏽 Aloha
I paid my truck off 12-21-21. My truck went into a limp mode and would not go on 12-23-21 so I took my 2015 GMC sierra 1500 truck to get it fixed on 12-30-21. The #1 cylinder was misfiring the camshaft was found to be bad from CMC Automotive in Langley SC. When I found out the repair cost was going to be $7500 I called around to get other prices. Found that where I bought my truck from in 2015 from Johnson motors in Aiken SC could do the repairs for $4000 + or - $200. It took several weeks for them to get parts to fix it. I got my truck back on 1-19-2022. Drove it until 2-14-2022 and it did the same thing. They repaired it. I got it back 3-11-2022. Drove it until the same thing happened again on 3-18-22. Took it back to get it repaired and they couldn’t fix it after having it for two weeks. So GM said they were going to put me a new 5.3 engine in it. Every since 4-19-22 I have been waiting for it. Every week I get a no ETA. I have been without my truck pretty much since 12-30-21. Is there an attorney I can talk to about this matter?
Where do I send the DM to?
The build your going with that number 2 blue would fit it perfectly honestly
🤙🏽🤙🏽
#7 is the right color. Plays well with the king shocks
1 or 8 for me... wild bodies, suspension and wheel suit factory look colours.
It's looking fantastic!
My first video was that Hawaii leaf spring one. I didn’t even have a house and said one day I wanna be able to wrench in my own garage like you. Life truly comes full circle. I now have my home with my garage cave. Unfortunately my Silverado had to go but soon will get back into a duramax. Keep it up brah we growing with you 🤙🏼
🤙🏽🤙🏽
I think #2 would look great. It’s got a lot of pop and would look really clean. I’m a big fan of keeping things like they could have come from the factory that way yet looking better than the factory would have made them.
Fun to see you doing what I'd never do to my truck (08 silverado) cause I'm too cheap. Keep it up!
The trendy overlander would’ve been so much easier, so props on the pre-runner decision!
#7 will look really good for the pre-runner!!
Great video! Just found your channel and subscribed. You do a nice job editing. Like the music too.
Really I’m excited just to see what you do with this thing no matter you choose to do but for the wrap, my input would be to go with the blue that matches the darker blue on the king suspension for the main colour of the truck. That way you have some of that blue to match the parts underneath and that will tie everything together. Then maybe you could have the lighter blue from the suspension used as accent pieces of wrap on the truck as well. So I’d say judging from the video #7 more than likely. Just like most others are saying. Hopefully this makes sense the way I want it to. Good luck with this build man. Been watching for a long time and I can say I’m genuinely happy for your success thus far.
🤙🏽🤙🏽
Number 2 would look amazing! Great video. Can’t wait to see it when it’s finished.
Go with Wrap Color #7, different is good!
#2 all the way!!! Love the way you take things in stride (at least on video)
trucks lookin great! i think you should do #3 or #5 base with your signature accents in a darker color. a bit different than the rest of the fleet to make it really pop and say hey! this aint just another rough country lifted truck!
#7 would be my choice in color. Keep up with the great modifications. Love the content and have done mods to my 21 silverado based on how they have turned out for truck. It's hot here in Rockwall and that limits what I can do outside without melting myself. Keep up the great videos.
#2. It looks like the limited blue on these trucks. It looks amazing in the sun.
Loving your content! I found you when I finally began upgrading my 2020 Trail Boss a year and a half or so ago (go to RUclips to figure out how to do something) and you have given me a lot of ideas and the courage to attempt them. Got sucked into the family here and as of today I have watched every video. It's really cool seeing how the channel has grown as well as your family and skills. Truly wish you much success and look forward to future mods and garage!
7 satin finish! I had kings on my last truck and they were awesome for off roading and everyday driving. Not so good for towing lol. Miss them though. Nice work.
I always enjoy the content on your channel. You have inspired me to learn to do work on my truck, and so far, it has saved me time and even money. Keep up the good work.
I vote for wrap color #2. That thing is going to be sick.
Number 7, can’t wait to see which one you choose.
Very cool project! I'm not looking to do nearly as much as you with my Ram Rebel but I would like to upgrade a few things here and there...on a budget. Thanks for these videos. Kind of really inspirational.
Thanks for watching!
when are you breaking ground on the shop?
I say good old number 7. And if you have accents in mind they should be gloss. I think the satin and gloss would be awesome. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
dude keep it up what an awesome freaking build
thanks for watching!
Hell yeah for those of us taking care of our NNBS!!
Would love to see a disc brake conversion kit, im looking to do the same and could use a quality guide of the process
Unfortunately that’s incredibly common across all trucks to have to drop the tank to swap the rear spring on the drivers side. I opted to cut the bolt and finagle the nut to install the new bolt backwards from stock. Loving the project!
GM should have just done a welded nut on the inside and run the bolt the opposite way... lol but I'm sure it was an afterthought. Thanks for watching!
7 or 3 tbh it’s hard to choose but what ever you choose is gonna look sick.
Great video, man. I like #2
I think color #2 would look great on the truck! I also have a 2007 Silverado crew cab Z71, and can’t wait to build it up! My Rear main seal just went out so waiting to get it back From the repair shop!
Great stuff, because #1 TRUCKS! And #2 You're shows are always great when it comes to truck mods. As for color, I think that #7 would look the best on this one. Can't wait to see where we go with this next!!
How are the plans coming along for the new shop?
Number 2, reminds me to the arrival blue from The cat eyed chevys, love that color
I’m liking the #2 wrap color
Lovin the content!!
Wrap: #2 or #7. First choice is #7
Keep up the great work!
like your vids and a fellow texan, good looking truck, just a few things FYI i learnd prerunning on chevys, its helps relocating one of the rear shocks to match directions i have both faceing towards the front, it will help for controlled stability, aswell a axle flip kit, it will be mounted above the leaf springs that will improve the ride, keep it up!
#7 is what I would go with along with a Whipple Supercharger. You can't beat the performance gains and its basically a bolt on kit that you can do yourself. I have a Whipple on my 2021 6.2L Trail Boss and with some dyno tuning was able to make 580whp.
Dude, Straight up, you should install Tru cool transmission cooler and mishimoto radiator for this truck. I am planning on doing those in the near future. And ofcourse an oil catch can and throttle body spacer
I think number 8 would look pretty darn good. I am a little partial to green but I think it would be a different look without being too outrageous.
Thinking #2 or #7 would be best. Keep up the work and videos.
#2 for sure. That color pops 👌🏼
Great video. Number 7 for wrap.
Number 2 but whatever you choose I am sure it will look great
great job on the leaf springs .. #4 for the color 🤘👌
Impressed with the work!! Now I gotta save up lol
I love this series!! Your a hero to all diy mechanics at home. I say #2 on the vinyl

7. satin looks awesome.
Number 7 for sure
Awesome job my braddah truck looks amazing Hawaiian can’t wait to see the finished product. Hana Hou 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Definitely gotta go either 1 or 8
I definitely think number 7 would look the best, it’d bring some flare to the prerunner
Have I mentioned that you're my hero? Lol
Been watching you since 2019 when I bought my 2012 silverado ext cab, unfortunately I got side swiped this year and she's been waiting on parts since March.
No! Sorry to hear that. HOpefully gets fixed up and back on the road soon.
#2 for the color. It'll make the truck pop
I can’t wait to see the goodies goin on the front 🔥
Definitely Color #2 would look sweet.
Really enjoy the channel be subscriber for a while since those Hawaii days lol. I think that #2 would look great
You are going to need way better bump stop system that the factory rubber bumps if your plan is to make full prerunner out of it. Looking good so far.
That's the plan! (needed something for the meantime) $16 on amazon 😅
Number 2 would look great!!
I really like both 2 or 7 for the wrap color.
I would say number 2 it would look amazing
My favorite as well... 😎
Number 2 is my fave. Also keep up the great work. Love your videos
I like either #7 or #8.
You should re-gear your rear end boss do some 4.56s if your ganna do 35s and 7 or 8 would be badass
Just stumbled across your channel watching lawsuits against GM Motors first and this being the second! “✅subscribed”
love the vibe of your videos bud! Curious as to what kit you’ll be running up front? Oh by the way I’m going to guess it’ll be 6 months before you replace the rear leafs with deaver under kit for more travel and comfort 💰💰 you’ve officially opened that bag of suspension and pre-runners😂 good luck my friend lol your going to realize there’s huge Mongas holes in your pockets your soon going to find out about🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Congratulations! You get to pay taxes! Wrap color #7! Love the channel!
Are you going to do a bed cage with some 16 in bypasses
Eventually, yes. I wanted to get a setup that I could add to. We'll eventually go with a bedcage.
i like 4,5, n 8 cause i was thinking doing 4 or 5 as the main wrap and do 8 like what u did on the Camaro as the design on the truck so it stand out or Vice versa
Love this 07. Makes me miss my 09 (same color too). Awesome stuff. Cheers from Mustang Ridge TX
Looks good, but just an FYI, your leaving a TON of performance out of those springs on the table by running OE Replacement rear shocks. Really need to run a bed cage, with 16" bypasses if you want to actually use the capability of those springs. If you have any questions give our shop a call. Can explain it in more detail
Much appreciated! I'm a big fan of some of the builds you've done.
Bed cage is for sure in the future plans.
glad to see you working on the OG! your on lucky guy not to live in the salt belt!
I like 2 and 7 but I like the color of your truck the way it is. So surprised you're not sporting a Tacoma like everyone else from Hawaii.🤙
I'm the black sheep of the Hawaiian race 😅 #Bowtie
Do the number 8 vinyl. That one is awesome bro. 🤘🏽
Color 2 and now you need some rock lights😁😁😁😁
I like #8.. you need to draw on the diff cover
Nice job on this! You make some very fun to watch videos. Subscribed!
Any car with body lines looks amazing with satin. The body lines will pop on the 07 so my vote would be for #7
Awesome video. Sample 1 & 2
Oh man I remember when I started with a mid-travel set up like this, than went long travel front + rear, than race kit up front. I ended up selling my Silverado for a caged + linked Raptor. Have fun with the snowball for more suspension performance!! Videos of my old Silverado on my channel for reference.
I’m pretty sure you are supposed to install the kings upside down in the rear. I could be wrong. Excited to see the front install 👍🏻
For once I actually read the instructions 😅. King wants them mounted with piggyback up and facing the rear. 🤙🏽 thanks for lookin' out though!
Always a solid day when you post homie.
🤙🏽🤙🏽
I got an ‘08 Sierra and would love to do a pre runner setup on it
I'd say #2 or #6. Love the build so far! Great job!
This is such a cool build I love all the things you think of. I like 2 & 7
Much Mahalo Bruddah for sharing enjoy your videos seeing another Hawaiian sharing da Aloooooha. Malama Pono Bruddah Jake
🤙🏽🤙🏽
You should order the king bump stop kit for your truck!
You actually want to do a flip kit on that axle, sounds counterintuitive but axle over leaf spring is better action for a prerunner.
2 or 7, looking good!
I have a 2011 one like yours cept crew cab. I love these trucks. Was gonna buy the superlift 8" lift with the king coilovers but i didnt know if the shocks were worth the big price tag vs the regular superlift, Bilsteins, Fox etc.
now the front
I don’t know how but I also own a exact blue 09 Silverado and a black 2020 rst 6.2 10 speed 😮😮😮😮. You are now my holy grail for information!!!! 😅
You must have some great taste in trucks ✅
#7 would look awesome
I think #2 or #8 would look great.
