Agreed. And 8" total lift? You trying to compensate?

compensate? no but i've seen minivans that sit higher than this thing,seriously.

the bed is tiny,but I really don't haul much anyway.I got the 4 door so i can throw my 4 year old in it pretty easy.

Hell yes.

I want one of those in red, 2wd with the factory 17's and dropped. *drools*

Personally, I wouldn't go with a body lift.. I would just go with a complete suspension lift. Gaps between the frame and body look like crap to me. I could understand a small body lift to fit some bigger tires in there, but since you are doing suspension as well just do a complete suspension lift.. I think you would be happier in the end.

If he wanted a big bed for hauling big stuff he would have bought a full size Chevy, obviously he didn't buy a full size Chevy so he must not need to haul big stuff.

coloradofans.com if you havent aready been there. im assuming 2wd? 35's may be a bit much for stock gearing with the AT, which i'll also assume that has.

I and my company are currently designing an after market 4wd actuator for the Canyon / Colorado. The four low, doesn't like to be shifted at above 3-5mph. You have been forewarned. I broke the 4-high / 4-low actuator, when testing our 4wd engagement actuator. Also check to see if your 4wd actuator in your front axle has a white or black housing. The white ones last longer, under heavy stresses.
This is our old actuator we build. I got three gold plated ones on my desk. LOL
Also our website sucks I know that. We are working on fixing that.

I cruise coloradofans.com alot.My s/n is knockretard,lol.

The truck is a 3.5L auto w/3.42 posi.It's a z85 2 wheel drive.I think I have decided against the body lift and probly just go with the suspension lift.


oh and sorry about the pics next to each other.When I previewed them they were stacked.I know what I did wrong but to late now I guess.

The truck has an intake and exhaust.It runs on average 15.8-16.0 @ 87-88mph.I would love to throw some 4.11's and I have a Jet servo kit waiting to go in.After that
HPtuners and I'll probly be happy for now.

I figured it was 4WD oh well. Why lift a 2WD truck?

why not? Those look wickedly aggresive with mean tires and a lift on it.

Because you tend to lift a truck for mudding/off roading (not a good 2wd application)
