Description

Outback Armour Suspension for Holden Colorado 7 RG (2012–2017)

Upgrade your Holden Colorado 7 RG (2012–2017) with an Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension kit, built to handle corrugations, mining roads and remote touring while still driving comfortably on the highway. These kits use heavy-duty twin-tube shocks, matched springs and quality hardware to deliver improved control, ride comfort and load-carrying capability for real-world 4×4 use.

Why choose Outback Armour?

• Designed and engineered in Australia for harsh off-road conditions
• Large-body shocks with high-flow pistons for consistent damping under load
• Matched coil or leaf springs to suit specific vehicle loads and accessories
• Options to suit unladen daily drivers through to fully built touring rigs

Shock Options: Performance, Digressive & Adjustable Bypass

Performance Range

The Performance range uses robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals, delivering a well-balanced ride for mixed on-road and off-road driving. They suit daily-driven Colorado 7 wagons that regularly tour, tow or travel on gravel roads without the need for external adjustment.

Adjustable Bypass Shocks

For maximum tuning flexibility, Adjustable Bypass shocks feature an internally adjustable bypass system with 20+ stages of damping adjustment. You can soften the ride for daily driving, then firm it up for towing, heavy loads or faster off-road work.

• 20+ click positions for precise front and rear tuning
• Adjust to suit changing loads, terrain and driving style
• Ideal for Colorado 7s that alternate between unladen and fully loaded setups

Set them towards comfort for a plush ride, or towards control when stability and composure matter most.

Spring & Load Options

Every Outback Armour kit uses matched springs and shocks based on how your Holden Colorado 7 is actually used. Rear spring options include:

Trail – Unladen / Light Load

Trail kits suit unladen or lightly loaded vehicles. They’re ideal if your Colorado 7 is a daily driver or weekend tourer with occasional camping gear, delivering improved ride quality, stability and lift without requiring a constant rear load.

Expedition – Moderate Constant Load

Expedition kits suit vehicles carrying a moderate constant load, such as rear drawers, a fridge, light touring gear or a roof rack. They offer extra support over stock suspension without becoming overly firm.

Expedition HD – Heavy Constant Load

Expedition HD kits are designed for heavy, permanent loads including steel rear bars, drawer systems, long-range tanks and substantial touring setups. The springs maintain correct ride height and stability under constant weight while reducing the risk of bottoming out.

If your Colorado 7 runs loaded most of the time, Expedition HD is usually the right option.

Typical Kit Contents

Exact contents vary by load rating, but most Outback Armour suspension kits include:

• Front struts (assembled or unassembled) with matched front coils
• Rear shocks with matched rear coils
• Required bushes, hardware and mounting components
• Additional brackets or spacers where required

Lift height, spring rates and part numbers are vehicle-specific. We’ll confirm the correct setup for your Holden Colorado 7 RG (2012–2017) when quoting.
