good god. over 3000 bucks for the jounce shocks and the cross member. on Gms site it states the rear cross car beam only works on the gas. assuming that means you cant get the jounce shocks on the rear of the diesel ? bummer if true
I love seeing Z71s built up! My friend Ernie has a sweet one, maybe I can convince him to start a channel about it. He has a lift and new UCAs, Prinsu roof rack and its a long bed.
Road Less Traveled It is actually hard to find vids on non-ZR2 trucks. I would love to see more vid channels/series! You would think that since the Z71 is so much cheaper... that there would be more channels. Them shocks and lockers pull the mod lovers towards the ZR2s I suppose. Can’t Blaine them really. Lol
From watching a lot of your videos, I know that you are friends with G2SKIER. I know he got the Timbren active off road bump stops. Why did you decide to get the jounce shocks over the off-road bump stops? and I'm not sure if you have driven his vehicle with the bump stops installed, but if you have which one do you like more and do you think the jounce shocks are worth the price difference?
I have had both installed on my truck. The jounce shocks are great for higher speed stuff but the timbrens worked great too. I wouldn’t spend the money on jounces if you do low speed stuff
@@CarsCatsCannabisThanks for the reply. I don't have a ZR2 yet but I'm currently saving up for one. Your channel has given me great ideas of what I want to do with mine when I get it and to see how much budget I would need to mod my truck. I also live in Michigan and its cool to see all of the offroad adventures that are possible up in the UP. I might have to wait for the next gen Zr2 in 2023/2024 to be unveiled to see if I can wait for the next gen truck. I think I might go with the front GM performance Jounce shocks and the Timbrens in the rear for cost-effectiveness. Love the content! keep up the great work.
The total Chevy Jounce system is $5800 or so total, inc the cross bar. The striker plate is $2,000, otherwise the price would be reasonable. I’m torn between the Timbren set up for $500 (inc new U Bolts.)
Looks outstanding! Still debating the jounce shocks. Just got the steel driveshaft in today and will install that and the AEV rear diff cover this weekend hopefully.
Much more suspension dampening capacity. Much smoother ride over bumps. New control arms lift the front a bit and have higher articulation, the level raises the front so I can eventually fit 35s with AEV fenders they are releasing.
So my Chevy dealer is saying the GMPP High Angle UCA and Level kit Part# 84621360 is not compatible with the ZR2 Bison DSSV Shocis #84402367. How did you replace your shocks too?
@@CarsCatsCannabis My dealer says my 2020 Bison came with the long travel shocks #84402367 and since they are not compatible wont install the leveling kit. . . so confused. . .
@@davidallancole8570 Yes - It took a call from Multimatic in Canada to convince them. They are actually installing it today as I write this. Thanks for the reply.
Cars, Cats & Cannibis...Does adding 35” tires require you to change the gearing? Not sure if I see a video since you made the change to 35” tires (if you have already) Mind sharing your experience since the change? (mileage etc) Thx!
Road Less Traveled it still looks great. I understand where your coming from. If I had the money I would go Chevy performance but I feel you can get king, icon bump stops for maybe 5-6 hundred. Which are great after market parts. Bottom line your still doing great stuff with your truck. It’s awesome.
The entire setup from Chevy is stupid money but so damn cool! I would do a full Race Bison if I could.
Awesome ride man!
Idk what I like more. The Jounce Shocks or the awesome mustache
The front tires sit too far back in the wheel well on all of these trucks. Makes it look funny
good god. over 3000 bucks for the jounce shocks and the cross member. on Gms site it states the rear cross car beam only works on the gas. assuming that means you cant get the jounce shocks on the rear of the diesel ? bummer if true
the cross car beam is not necessary. you can put jounce on the diesel
Why did you switch from diesel to gas? Curious which you enjoyed more?
Awesome looking truck! Thank you for sharing. I only have a Z71 but am making the needed upgrades over time... as I need them.

Keep an eye on project Overland USA because they have Chevy Colorado Z71 build going on. ruclips.net/channel/UC5puXxn6SvffFou7HSOf7ew

The steel driveshaft is a must. Congrats!
nice. thinking i will get them for the front. I have the 589 relocation kit so... guess the backs are out of the question. haha.
Where are these trails
Is it true that installing the Uniball upper control arms and the 1.5” spacers voids your front end components Factory Warranty???
Why didn't you get the Chevy Performance tie rod sleeves installed at the same time?
They were and are back ordered unfortunately. I had them as part of the order yes. Thanks for reminding me they still have not come in yet
Totally awesome! But do they decrease wheel articulation for the rock sections?
they do not decrease articulation. Makes crawling and high speed stuff so much smoother
Forgot to ask what did the dealership charge for the install?
I negotiated it to be included with the purchase of my Bison.
@@CarsCatsCannabis very nice!
What's the are the overall benefits of the new control arms and the jounce shocks?
Much more suspension dampening capacity. Much smoother ride over bumps. New control arms lift the front a bit and have higher articulation, the level raises the front so I can eventually fit 35s with AEV fenders they are releasing.
Hey man awesome truck. I have a 2018 z71 will any of the parts from that web site fit my truck? Seems like zr2 parts only maybe
I am not sure. I believe ZR2 specific
I'm considering the GM Leveling kit with Jounce shocks in the front but not the back on my 2020 Bison - do you have an opinion on that?
I have the jounces all around and any jounces you can put on will be amazing! highly recommend.
Man those mods are niice
What do the jounce shocks do?
instead of having a hard bump stop when the suspension reaches the limit of its travel, there's a secondary shock there
Put the Rears on the Inside and you could use the 589 Shock Relocation Kit!
New video to come. Shocks relocated and still have jounces where they are !
@@CarsCatsCannabis-- Did you Flip the U-Bolts and if so how?
So my Chevy dealer is saying the GMPP High Angle UCA and Level kit Part# 84621360 is not compatible with the ZR2 Bison DSSV Shocis #84402367. How did you replace your shocks too?
They are compatible with the stock shocks. The long travel shocks are the part number you referred to.
@@CarsCatsCannabis My dealer says my 2020 Bison came with the long travel shocks #84402367 and since they are not compatible wont install the leveling kit. . . so confused. . .
@@_Akicita_ --- Your dealer is wrong.
@@davidallancole8570 Yes - It took a call from Multimatic in Canada to convince them. They are actually installing it today as I write this. Thanks for the reply.
Are you missing the diesel? I have 2016 diesel and am thinking of getting a ZR2. Thanks.
I am not missing the diesel, get a ZR2 gas or diesel and you'll love it
What all have you done for the suspension? I'm wanting to do the 35" wheels when AEV releases the fender flair kit
Haha just saw your list of upgrades! Will you need anything else other than the flare kit to get the 35's to fit? I can't wait!
Just flares!

Thx!
Does this bison have a stock lift other than the gm add ons?
Just GMPP high angle UCA and level
Does any gm dealer install those new shocks
Yes dealee insraller
Do you need to get the upper control arms To get the shocks?
You do not need the upper control arms to get the front jounce shocks.
@@CarsCatsCannabis
I haven't has a chance to look at the Chevy Off road performance parts yet.
I dont own a Bison just the regular ZR2.
@@AngelLovesToLook They are for all ZR2s!
What was the cost installed?
Parts are 5300 plus install
@@CarsCatsCannabis whoa
I can’t figure out why the striker plate is like 2k?
That's insane
Dude that is a lot of money for some damn bump stops bro.
seems to be "worth it" this far. not about the cost, it about having factory verified race parts.

They look cool too. Your making me want to pull the credit card out.
It’s SO WORTH IT so impressed
