First Silverado ZR2 Mod?

[KevO16]

Bought the same antenna as the first post. No issues with any reception thus far.

 

[SPDY ZR2]

The reverse bulbs & license plate bulbs in these trucks are halogen…looks like crap when all other lights are LED. There are lots of YouTube videos of swapping them out. These are what I have:

Also, the factory antenna is obnoxiously tall and ugly. Replaced with this one:

Hope that helps!

Thanks for posting, very helpful. I receive my ZR2 this Friday (6-10-22) and already starting buy stuff to mod it. Thanks for links!

I agree! 7000 foot plus mountains are only 10 minutes from my driveway.

What did he do with front shocks? Im being told the front shocks can only handle 1" of lift. Did he fabricate some sort of extension or change them out? My local 4WD centers will not level mine.

Here's a link on YouTube to see how one Silverado ZR2 owner did it, pretty straight forward. Good luck.

Go back to page 6 of this thread. MrMAn is the one who did it himself. If you got any questions, post them here and I will ask him if he can answer them for you.

What will your first modification be on the ZR2?

The kit that I used is a spacer that goes on top of the shock, so it doesn’t effect the travel of the shock. I did have to re-clock the shocks in the assembly. When you use the spacer on top, you have to turn the strut assembly 180 degrees. If you don’t re-clock the shocks in the assembly, the reservoir would be facing outboard rather than facing inboard.

Getting GM rock Rails and 3M protective film put on next week, as well as the optional Borla exhaust. This weekend I’m off to the wheel and tire shop to test fit some tires to see how bad the rub is. If it requires too much modification, than it’s not worth it, but if it’s just rubbing that some inner fender massaging can solve, then I’ll squeeze in some 35s (most likely not true 35s). I’m prepared to trim the outside front fenders too and buy some replacements later.

Does anyone know where to get new ZR2 badges? I can only find ones for the Colorado.

Do you know if the 4" red one will work just the same?
