Hey guys has anyone done a 2" body lift on their Colorado? I have heard conflicting stories about needing a steering shaft extension and the steering shaft rubbing on the turbo. Can anyone confirm these things and also what size bolts are required? obviously 2" longer then whats in there now but how long are they? also is there anything else that needs to be modded ie: brake lines/fan shroud
Any help would be much appreciated.
Dave

no worries mate 
Re: Colorado Body Lift
Have read a bit on the subject, steering shaft extension hits the turbo on the deseils. Some have taken off the heat sheild and filed the turbo to give enough clearence. I heard that his still hits when giving it heaps in the rough though. Brake lines have been fine. Fan shroud are bit fiddley but nothing too hard.

Would I do it with the front airbags, nope
