TRZ Motorsports Front Upper Coil-Over Mounts (1982 - 1988 Chevy Blazer / S-10 - 2WD) - S10-2
Front Upper Coil-Over Mounts for 1982 - 1988 S-10 & Blazer (2WD)
The TRZ Motorsports Front Upper Coil-Over Mounts upgrade the front suspension on 1982 - 1988 Chevy S-10 and Blazer 2WD models by replacing the weak factory stud-style upper shock mount with a precision bearing-style coil-over mount. This eliminates rubber bushing slop, prevents long-term bushing flattening, and delivers significantly more accurate suspension travel - ideal for drag racing, pro-touring, and high-performance street builds.
The brackets bolt onto the backside of the upper cross-shaft frame mount to establish proper coil-over placement. After alignment, welding is required to finalize installation. Once installed, these mounts support any 1" wide x 1/2" ID upper coil-over shock, making it easy to upgrade to modern performance dampers.
Each kit includes LH & RH mounts, (2) Grade 8 shock bolts with nylocks, and (2) travel limiter bolt pad brackets (where applicable). This system eliminates rubber-isolated inconsistencies and enhances suspension predictability and control.
