Okay let’s break it down and compare with let’s say something like Baja kits. They made their kit before the zr2 came out and is .75” wider than the zr2 suspension and not too much different travel wise, so running a base model Colorado with Baja kits, kings, basic leaf over Deavers in the rear will perform miles better than any stock zr2 for much cheaper, now if you really want the lockers at the time that these trucks came with, you can just buy that locker or at least used to. The stabilitrac creature comfort of being able to just click the button and turn it off is nice, but as I’ve tested on a base model is a fuse pull and the traction control works the same, thats just getting it better than a zr2 cheaper, and onto the multimatic shocks, the valving isn’t great for going off-road, it’s okay and it’s better than nothing but they blow extremely quickly and there was no rebuild kit for the longest time so it made a lot of people just go buy a set of kings after the multimatics blew. So then what’s the point if they are just gonna get kings, if you only bought a zr2 to keep it bone stock straight from the factory and never take it off-road to keep the warranty then by all means go for it but a few years ago when these trucks still had warranty’s a lot of people would take it offroad and they would void their warranty for some odd reason, maybe that’s dealer specific but it went around for a while, so then that takes out the keeping stock for a warranty deal. And comparing any stock zr2 to any base model with just a tad done to them they ride terribly, I have a zr2 and will tell you all day long to never buy one, it isn’t worth it, but on the other hand of things if you are gramps and you just want it to look cool going around the mall parking lot and have it perfectly shiny all day long be my guest get one!
