Truck Bed Camper for Chevy Silverado 1500 ZR2

The Silverado 1500 ZR2 ships with Multimatic DSSV spool-valve dampers — Formula-1-derived hardware that you don't usually see outside the Colorado ZR2 and the Camaro Z/28. They handle a wet Kimbo 6 better than any base Silverado damper we've worked with, and most ZR2 owners install Kimbos without adding airbags. The factory 2″ lift puts the truck closer to level once the rear settles under load, the same modest handling win we see on the F-150 Tremor.

Bed configuration determines which Kimbo. The ZR2 was originally Crew Cab + 5′10″ bed only (2022–2023), which makes Kimbo 6 the off-the-shelf answer and Kimbo 8 a closer call. From 2024+, GM added a Crew Cab + 6′7″ ZR2 option, which makes Kimbo 8 a genuine fit conversation — the 6′7″ bed is within the Kimbo 8's engineered range, and the DSSV dampers carry the weight without complaint. We're seeing more 6′7″ ZR2 owners on Kimbo 8 each quarter.

Worth flagging the ZR2 Bison sub-trim, which adds AEV steel front and rear bumpers, AEV-stamped skid plates, and a heavier accessory package. The hardware is excellent for off-road work, but it adds ~150 lb of curb weight which subtracts directly from payload. Bison stickers run closer to 1,300 lb than 1,440 lb. Bring your specific door-jamb numbers — the Bison-spec math is different from a base ZR2.
