Lifting a Coloarado

a new spring in the back of my 93 silverado raised it up just shy of

2"

Bob, Check around and I'm sure you can find a lift kit for it. I know FabTech makes lifts for the full size 2wd trucks, but I don't know about the Colorado/Canyon.

The front geometry isn't the only thing to worry about. There is pinion angle and working angles for the U-joints to worry about in the rear. It can create shudder under acceleration if its off as well as bearing problems in extreme cases. Fabtech {like mentioned before} makes some of the best kits I've seen that keeps the front and rear geometry as close to factory as possible. Not sure if there is a kit for the colorado yet.

Probably not something to worry about at 2" inches or whatever.

Or, this could be caused by axle wrap, changing the angle of the two yokes..... anti-wrap bars would fix this problem.... extremely common w/ super flexy suspensions, which have no problem with vibes going down the highway.

Fix the vibe....

Bob, Get ye yer add-a-leafs, install and arch for 2" of lift. Install 2" drop shackle and leave level.

Thanks, actually I wan tthe truck to sit higher. I hit going over curbs and bigger speed bumps all the time. Its also really akward for towing. Even with a 6" drop receiver hitch turned upside down its a little on the low side for proper trailering level. I figure if I could rais the rear about

3" and the front about 2 it wouldn't be too radical, and would give me better clearnace and towing.

I figured I'ld wander by American Spring and see what they had to say on the subject.

WHat about airbag supplements? pump them up when you have a heavy load, let it out when you dont, it will always be level, and will always have a nice ride.

Just a thought.
