  1. How-To: Chassis & Suspension
    I recently picked up a 2011 crew cab Colorado. I’m new to gmc and Chevy. I got one because I sold my bmw328i and wanted a smaller truck like a Tacoma (I’m a toyota guy). Nice tacos have gotton too damn expensive for me to buy. It seemed like the rangers were very cheaply built so I went with a...

  3. Chassis
    Hi all, I need to replace my front shocks, and ball joints, on my '07 Canyon SLE 2 wd. Probably the original suspension parts from factory, coming up close to the big 300k mark. How can I identify which chasis I have? I rehomed this truck. There are several options according to parts house...

    Hello all, my question is for a 2005 Colorado, z85 LS, crew cab, 4wd. My main question is what size bolt do I need for the front leaf spring mount? My longer question: I'm having someone replace my leaf springs, but I'm responsible for supplying the hardware. I'm wondering what hardware I'll...
  6. For Sale
    A while back I made a post about selling my Dirt King UCA’s (Z71 4x4 non-ZR2) but I went back and forth about it since I wasn’t 110% sure if I’d need to upgrade to a full size diesel or not. Well the time has come and I have too much heavy **** to tow around. Not that the minimax can’t handle it...

    I've been browsing the forums for an hour now and haven't got the exact answers I want for my questions. Basically, I have new torsion keys and an AAL kit from Zone Offroad for a 2" lift, but I'm not sure what I need to do with all the components in the suspension system. Here are my questions...
  8. Chassis
    I recently bought a new 2" Zone Offroad lift kit (new torsion keys and AAL) to help me out when 4x4-ing. With the lift, I wanted to get new, longer shocks. I immediately turned to Bilstein to see what they had. The 4600 Series Shock is for stock height trucks, so that wouldn't work. So I then...
  9. Wheels & Tires
    Hello there folks of the internet. I come to you once again in a time of need! My 06 Canyon Off-Road has developed an unfortunate habit of intermittently vibrating when I get up to highway speed. It will usually start after I hit a bump on the road and continues for a while until stopping on...
  10. Lifting
    Hey guys, for the past few weeks I've been looking at various lifting options for my '04 Chevy Colorado Z71 2WD that are not only cost effective, but also are not going to tear up my suspension. Originally my plan was going to go include a Skyjacker Add-a-leaf, MAXX torsion keys, new torsion...

    I've got an 04 I5 ZQ8 Regular cab with 160,000 miles, and i don't know how to tell when or if i should replace any suspension parts. It is already kind of a bumpy ride but it doesn't pull or bounce or make EXCESSIVE noise. I'm only considering it because i I just picked up an '88 Bayliner Cuddy...

    Hey guys. I have a 2009 GMC Canyon z71 crew cab. I have stock 17 inch rims on 265/70/17 BFG M/T. I have found rims I really want to buy, they are 20'' replica wheels.I have already put in new torsion bars and will crank them if i need too. I'm wondering if I could fit 275/55/20 on stock...

    So last Sunday I purchased a 2005 crew cab z71 and I finally got to pick it up yesterday after the dealer did a tune up, alignment and fixed some other things. The problem is today driving to work I noticed a horrible rattling noise on the drivers side somewhere. The noise is only when I...

    Hi all, I am noticing a knocking sound coming from the rear end of my 2005 Z85 LS Crew Cab with 40,000 miles. About 6 months ago I installed a suspension maxx 2.5 inch leveling kit on the front end and put 2" taller shackles and pro comp add-a-leaf springs on the rear end. So 2.5" taller in the...

    Hey so I have a 2006 Chevy Colorado Crew Cab Z71 4x4 and I am wondering what the cheapest/easiest way to lift the rear end about 1.5 to 2 inches. Any advice helps! thanks!

    Hey I just thought I should throw out a word of caution when ordering new rear Bilstein shocks for your truck. I ordered front and back shock replacements (both Bilstein) from auto anything on October 6th. I received the fronts a week later, and as of right now my "expected shipping date" is...
  19. Lowering
    So right now, I have a 3/4 drop on springs and blocks. I want to squeeze another inch drop, and my plan is to get some zq8 leafs and some adjustable drop shocks. To correct the lean, I'm going to get spacers, as I only have a half inch lean, and the drop shocks only adjust in whole inches if I...

    A couple weeks ago I installed a Readylift kit (69-3070, 2.25F/1.5R) on my 2009 Canyon SLE and now I'm getting groans out of the torsion bars. Is that normal? This is my first lift kit ever. After doing the work myself I took it to my mechanic to have the wheels aligned and also asked them to...
