Outback Armour Suspension for Holden Colorado RC (2008–2012)
Upgrade your Holden Colorado RC (2008–2012) with an Australian-engineered Outback Armour suspension kit, designed to handle corrugations, mining roads and remote touring while still driving well on the highway. These kits are built around heavy-duty twin-tube shocks, matched springs and quality hardware, giving you improved control, comfort and load carrying for real-world 4×4 use.
Why choose Outback Armour?
Designed and engineered in Australia for demanding off-road conditions
Large-body shocks and high-flow pistons for consistent damping under load
Matched coil or leaf springs to suit specific vehicle loads and accessories
Options for unladen daily drivers through to heavy touring rigs
The Performance range uses robust 60 mm twin-tube shocks with high-flow internals, giving a solid all-round ride for mixed on-road and off-road use. They’re a great option for daily-driven Colorado RCs that see regular touring, towing and gravel roads without needing fine-tuning knobs.
Adjustable Bypass Shocks
For those who want maximum control, Adjustable Bypass shocks add an internally-adjustable bypass system with 20+ stages of damping adjustment. You can dial the shocks softer for comfort around town, then firm them up for heavy loads, towing or faster off-road driving.
20+ click positions for precise tuning front and rear
Adjust for changing loads, terrain and driving style
Ideal for Colorado RCs that regularly swap between unladen and fully loaded
In short: wind them towards comfort for a plush ride, or towards control when you need the vehicle to stay tight and composed.
Spring & Load Options
Each Outback Armour kit is built around matched springs and shocks to suit how your Holden Colorado RC (2008–2012) is actually used. For the rear in particular, you can choose from:
Trail – Unladen / Light Load
Trail kits are aimed at unladen or lightly-laden vehicles – perfect if your Colorado RC is mainly a daily driver or weekend tourer with occasional camping gear in the back. You get improved ride, stability and lift height without needing a heavy constant load in the vehicle.

Exact contents vary by vehicle and load option, but most Outback Armour suspension kits will include:
Front struts (assembled or unassembled) and matched front coils
Rear shocks and matched rear coils or leaf springs
Required bushes, shackles, pins and u-bolts for leaf-spring setups
