The Rago Fabrication Shock Guards extend beyond the shock body to shield the shaft itself, reducing the risk of seal tears and the slow leaks that follow. Keeping the shaft surface intact means longer service intervals and fewer roadside surprises deep in the backcountry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt for Water Crossings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA drain hole positioned at the lowest point of the guard prevents water from pooling inside after a crossing. Standing water accelerates corrosion and adds unnecessary weight; the drain hole clears it passively, with no action required from the driver. The powder coated textured black finish adds a further layer of corrosion resistance for extended exposure to mud, moisture, and trail grime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull shock and shaft coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e guard extends to protect the shock shaft from pitting and seal damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrain hole design:\u003c\/strong\u003e positioned at the lowest point to clear water after crossings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-profile fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e clean look that does not add bulk to the suspension area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowder coated textured black finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e corrosion-resistant finish for trail and weather exposure\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-trim compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e fits every 2012–2022 Chevy Colorado trim level, including the ZR2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eRago Fabrication\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eR1219CHCOLSG-ASM\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePowder coated textured black\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eVehicle Fitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e2012–2022 Chevy Colorado (2nd Gen), all trim levels including ZR2\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThese shock guards suit 2012–2022 Chevy Colorado owners, including ZR2 builds, who run the truck on rough trails and want to extend shock life by protecting the shaft and seal from debris damage and water intrusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-no\"\u003eThese guards do not fit 1st generation Colorado trucks (pre-2012) or any other vehicle make or model.

They are not designed for 1st generation Colorado trucks or any other vehicle platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eDoes installation require cutting or modifying any existing parts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eInstallation requires minimal trimming: a small tab on the end of the emergency brake bracket must be trimmed off to allow placement of the second mounting bolt. The modification is minor, but buyers should review the reference photos before starting and consider professional installation if unfamiliar with metal trimming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat does the drain hole in the shock guard do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe drain hole is positioned at the lowest point of the Rago Fabrication Shock Guard so that water entering during a water crossing drains out passively rather than pooling inside the guard. Pooled water accelerates corrosion and can work against the protection the guard is meant to provide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3 class=\"product-faq-q\"\u003eWhat finish do the shock guards have, and how does it hold up off-road?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-faq-a\"\u003eThe Rago Fabrication Shock Guards are finished in powder coated textured black, which provides a corrosion-resistant surface suited to repeated exposure to mud, moisture, and trail debris. The textured finish also resists showing scuffs and scratches from brush and rock contact.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rago Fabrication","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50629354586182,"sku":"R1219CHCOLSG-ASM","price":159.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2203\/1686\/files\/2nd_gen_colorado_shock_guards-sq.jpg?v=1791945964","url":"https:\/\/terrainvault.com\/products\/rago-fabrication-2012-2022-chevy-colorado-shock-guards","provider":"TerrainVault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
