Finally got my 2026 zr2 hd

[Barb the Yeti]

Went to order a new 2026 zr2 HD bison, and found one that was almost exactly my order about 3.5 hours away, went ahead and picked it up!

I wasted no time changing it, and swapped the shocks for dirt king 2.5s, put baja designs amber lights to replace the fogs, added a backflip revolver x4 bed cover and builtright molle panels in the bed.
I also installed the comeup winch (what a pain) and I am currently waiting on method 708s and falken wildpeak rt01s in 37x12.5r18

Initial notes: dssvs aren't bad, but seriously lacking with any large bumps. The new dirt kings feel almost exactly like the dssvs, but also take big bumps like CHAMPS. Would definitely reccomend. HOWEVER their UCAs dont play well with the ZR2, and I ended up not installing them.

I will get some updated pics with all the new stuff installed when the wheels come in next week.

Do you have an actual photo of the bracket?

I don't care for the fitment with the gaps showing around that round bezel. I made some custom bezel and brackets for my AEV Bumper to mount some flush fit Baja Design lights. Worked pretty well anf looked much cleaner than having them set back.

Maybe if I can work with this bracket, I'll make a bezel. The bezel was the easier part.

I didn't take pics before installing, I will see if I can find something

nice
please share more about the dirt kings. i have been looking at them.
the rears seem a touch longer than stock, so they should work well
can you adjust them softer than the dssv?
how about freeway expansion joints?
thanks for any info you can share
