I ordered these for my 2022 4x4, you don't have to have a Z71 or ZR2 to need these. I drive a deer lease with a lot of rocks and uneven ground so these are just for peace of mind. They arrived fast and they are a high quality product. Very well built and sturdy ! Super easy to install, my wife did one side.. I used the original bolts because they have a tapered end and slide back in easily. Great product if you go off road and not a mall crawler.
Installed in under 30 min with basic tools! Quality materials and finish!
I purchased these for my 2016 Z-71 Colorado. I do a little light off roading and thought they would be worth the money for a little extra protection. As everyone knows, the rear shock mounts are the low point. I have not “tested” them out with “bashing” stuff on the trail; nonetheless, they seem like they will provide some protection to the shock mounts and shock base. Installation was easy and everything lined up. The most difficult part was aligning all of the holes to put the lower shock mount bolt in. Although a replacement lower bolt was included, I reused my factory bolt as it was the same length as the one provided.
Seems good for the money and easy installation for a little more protection.
Skids were as easy as advertised to install. The fitment was excellent and the quality is very high. Every comment out there agrees these are a much have for any ZR2/Z71 owner. The only feedback I'd provide is the torque values were confusing on the website. I was eventually able to find another online source.
Super easy install. These are very well built and provides some piece of mind protecting those DSSV’s before hitting trails.

Once I figured out that lifting the frame with a floor jack made lining up the shock mount holes easier than trying to compress the shock this install was easy and I’m glad I didn’t waste the money to get someone to do it for me. These plates are beefy and add a level of security to off roading the trails around Moab.
Easy to install. Quality part.
Product was very professionally engineered, welded and build. The skids give me added security while driving and off-roading.
Item shipped within days of ordering and arrived in perfect condition.
Components appear to be well made and robust enough to provide significant protection to the rear shock attachments with minimal loss of ground clearance.
Installation on the Colorado was a snap. Shock strut was easy to compress by hand in order to place the skids into place. Didn't even jack up the rear as I had plenty of room to do the install.
While I've not put them through any off-road travel yet, I do feel they will offer good protection for this area of the truck. I'll report back if I find out other wise.
10/10 would recommend! Super easy to install fits with no problem! I love it!
Awesome skids! Thanks
Very easy install, only complaints are the silver lock plate bolt stripped while reaching torque specs and my product didn’t ship with stickers unlike the product pictures
Nice product
Well built, fit and finish were excellent. My only complaint, no instructions sheet to indicate torque on hardware. Emailed customer service and received info right away.
Stout and easy to install. If you own a ZR2 and arent a mall crawler you need these.
Great protection, built well, look great!
These things don’t seem like much but once they’re on they will definitely save you some money and time while doing any sort of off road adventures. Super easy to install and they give you some new bolts which is a plus. Thanks Datin Fab teams.
The skids fit perfectly and were easy to install
So worth the money! And worth the wait! This company did a great job in contacting me about it being late and my options of what could be done to get it here in time! They will work with you! Thanks so much!
Quality built product. Fast shipping, responsive customer service. Highly recommended.
Well made. Sturdy. Easy to install. I feel much better about going off road now. Thanks!
After reviewing all other brands of skids I went with the DatinFab shock skids, and I couldn’t be happier. I really like the powder coated finish, and install was a breeze. The only tip I have is to make sure you don’t let that shock push the way to the bottom, because Chevy’s ZR2 shocks are no joke. Quality material, easy install, cheap price, but great protection for off-roading.
I’m very happy with the shock skids for the Chevy Colorado zr2. They are very well made. Fit like a glove and give you a little peace of mind knowing your shocks aren’t exposed.
Fantastic product. Installed in about 30 mins and took the truck on my toughest trail of the season so far. Heard them scrape twice. Held up fine just some barely noticeable scratches but the important things were kept safe. Would recommend to anyone with a zr2!
Bolted right up, fit perfect.
I know they’ll work and I’ll will be testing them this weekend.
Excellent product. More robust than I expected. Great fit and easy no-drill installation. I highly recommend these skids.
Shipping was fast, install was super easy on one side , but had to wrestle it a bit on the driver side as I think the shock mount was bent a bit from last off-road trip. I cannot wait to test these out ;)
Thanks !!
Skids are very high quality! Powder coating was flawless. No issues with the install. And shipping was FAST! You need to get these!
I wanted shock skids that required no drilling and were high quality. That's what these provided. Welds were perfect, powder coat looks good and even, and these are thick sturdy steel.
The smart design allows easy installation without modifications to the truck.
Tested immediately on Rubicon trail. Happy they were there.
Seldom review items good or bad but the Datin Shock Skids are excellent. The high quality struck as soon as I opened the box. Fabrication and paint were top notch and Kit was complete with bolts right down to the blue thread locker. Be sure to review the installation link is my only advise. Fit like a glove. USA. Class product.
Top notch product at a reasonable price. Shipped very fast. Easy install. Very satisfied; definitely recommended with no reservations.
Installation was very easy and straight forward. Like the inclusion of the little loctite packet. Shipping was super fast, I called to verify purchase due to some email issues on my end... polite on the phone, confirmed my order was shipping. Would like to continue to see products for my Colorado from Datin.
Thanks!
