Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 Suspension: Elevating Performance with Multimatic Shocks

The Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ZR2 stands out in the off-road truck segment, thanks to its robust suspension system. At the heart of this system are the advanced Multimatic DSSV (Dynamic Suspensions Spool Valve) shocks. These shocks are renowned for their exceptional performance, offering improved handling and ride quality both on and off the road. One of the key features of the ZR2 is its suspension, which is 2" higher than other factory trims like the LTZ, providing better ground clearance and a more aggressive stance.

Outback Kitters offers both BDS Suspension and Zone Offroad as suspension options. Read more about the difference between these two brands.

ZR2 Specific Kits

For those looking to further enhance their ZR2, there are several suspension kits specifically designed for this model:

• Zone Offroad 1.75" Levelling Kit (ZONC1174): This kit includes preload spacers and upper control arms to level out your ZR2, giving it a balanced and aggressive look.
• Zone Offroad 4" Lift Kit (ZONC73): Utilising the factory Multimatic Shocks, this kit extends the vehicle height by another 4", which is equivalent to a 6" lift kit on an LTZ model. 
• BDS Suspension 4" Lift Kit (BDS1835H): Also using the factory Multimatic Shocks, this kit provides the same height increase as the Zone Offroad kit, delivering an additional 4" lift from the ZR2 stock height.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Kits Replacing the Multimatic Shocks

For those who prefer different shocks, the Multimatic Shocks can be replaced with Outback Kitters or Fox Shocks, offering a variety of lift options:

3.5" Lift Kits

• Zone Offroad 3.5" Lift Kit with Outback Kitters Shocks (ZONC47OK): This kit lifts the vehicle 1.5" from the ZR2 stock height.
• BDS Suspension 3.5" Lift Kit with Fox Shocks (BDS755FDSC): Similar to the Zone kit, this option also lifts the vehicle 1.5" from the ZR2 stock height.

4" Lift Kits
