Non-ZR2 Ultimate Rear Shock Relocation Kit (2015-22 Colorado/Canyon)
Our Relocation Kits have been a big hit with the ZR2 owners. We are now excited to offer that same kit built for the Non-ZR2 Colorado and Canyons. See below for specific Wheel/Tire and Wheel Spacer requirements.
Combining three systems into one convenient package that;
- Moves the rear shocks to the outside of the frame, raising them up out of harms way.
- Integrates your choice of Timbren Active off-road Bump Stops or Carbon Shock Technologies 2.0x2 Hydraulic Threaded Body Bump Stops for the Ultimate rear suspension bottom out control.
- U-bolt flip kit paired with the new striker plate ensures the most clearance and protection under the rear axle.
The all new upper shock mount now requires no welding to the factory frame. This new design wraps around the frame rail and encases it, creating a very strong mount that also reinforces the frame for the added stresses.
Along with an all new upper mount, the lower mount has also been redesigned to match the new upper, featuring an integrated shock skid for added protection. Welding still required.
Please note: Hydraulic bump stops can be noisy when off-road, due to the nature of their design. Every time the bump stop contacts the striker pad, you will hear a clunk. This is normal. The Timbren Bump stops will not make any noise, just like stock, if you prefer no noise.
Carbon Shock Technologies Threaded Bump stops. Carbon Shock bumps are manufactured from a solid Billet Steel body as one piece. Carbon Shock technologies bumps are designed to handle abuse in the most extreme circumstances. Threaded Bump stops are stronger than a traditional pinch can and do not have an issue with overtightening the Bump stop body causing internal issue.
Timbren Active Off-Road Bump stops. Active Off-Road Bump stops have been designed to allow for proper deflection of the suspension while, at the same time, providing a damping response when the suspension bottoms out. Aeon® rubber springs provide a progressive spring rate that reduce stress on your body and your vehicle.
Special Fitment Notes:
The ZR2 rear axle is around 1-3/4 inches wider on each side, vs the standard trucks. This extra space is needed to fit the shocks and bump stops. We recommend running a narrow tire in the 10.50 - 11.50 inch width range. We cannot test for every single wheel and tire combination, but here is what we know works:
Stock Wheels:
Up to a 285/70r17 - Require 2 inch wheel spacers
17x8 0mm offset wheels:
Up to a 35x11.50R17 - Require 1-1/4 - 1-1/2 inch wheel spacers
17x9 -12mm offset wheels:
Up to a 35x11.50r17 - Require 1 - 1-1/4 inch wheel spacers
*If you are running a lift block or bigger spring pack that is 1-2 inches thicker than the factory leaf spring, you need to order the Ultimate ZR2 Rear Shock Relocation Kit. Some minor modifications might need to be made to the striker pad, depending on the lift block size. If you have any questions regarding this, please email info@589fab.com.
