Great video! We would love to do a collab with your channel using any of our kits if you're interested! -TORCH

years ago I went with the Rancho 4". Glad I went with that after seeing this. Still, great video, much respect.

I had the same issue with the lower arm sleeve, and did the same with the die grinder. Not that big of a deal, since I'm not in a hurry to finish it. Now for the sway bar issue. I did a lot of measuring and test fitting, because mine will be a trail truck, and at droop, it hit the sway bar while turning both directions. The fix is easy. Drill a new hole 1 inch lower than the extended hole(the new one at the top), and on both sides of course. Any lower, and it gets too close to the steering boots.

Don't think I've ever seen a frame that clean on a first gen Colorado, hell mine looks like swiss cheese

I'm doing same stuff I got the motor out and ready for the 5.3 I would like to do the lift with the motor out but I'm going for LT 315

Customer service is trash and the a arm bolt issue is dumb AF for the price of the lift...we are in the middle of dealing with it as well.. checking videos to see what others did . Great video thanks for posting

Seems like a lot of customization for a full kit. Are you disappointed in the Skyjacker lift?

[DesertRunner]

For the '09-'12 brake upgrade, what parts do you need other than the rotor and caliper? Or are those the only 2 parts you need?

[juanillohr]

My truck looks more high to the left side, how can I repair that problem 😢

[coldbrews_dirtroads]

Any issues with the knuckle and ball joints touching the side wall of the tire? I got some 16X8S with 285/75S just sat it out n the ground and the ball joints on the tire

No more content on this bad boy? What exactly will you need to swap over for the bigger brakes from 2009? So far I got the rotors, pads and calipers. Will I need also the caliper brackets or are they the same?

[hellmarry]

Were you able to resolve the sway bar issue? I ran into the same issue, sway bar is off for now

[mariosalazar]

Did skyjacker ever get back to you on issue?

[jumbjuice]

With the lift and tires, has mpg or power declined? Wanting to do the same to my 2.9l

[bassentv]

Will it fit on a 2wd z71 with torsion bars

[moemossalam]

What’s the specs on the rims n tires bud? I really like the look

[josephcalvert]

Can you link the lift kit you used in the comments

[ltx]

Damm I was planning on using this lift for my truck but seems like you guys ran into a decent amount of issues.

I HATE TO BE THE GUY but hopefully am not to annoying here when I ask I have a 2010 canyon how much more or less would this cost to do to my truck?
