I'm going to be installing my lift kit tomorrow afternoon. I decided to go with a Zone 3.5 inch Combo kit. This kit is a 2 inch suspension lift (AAL in the rear / new torsion keys up front) and 1.5inch body lift. I also ordered new rear shocks from Zone. This will allow me to clear 32s with no problem. I plan on getting some H3 wheels and will run 265-75-16 Goodyear Duratrac. Hoping to get the wheels and tires buy the end of the year, but may even hold off till early next year depending on availability of funds. I also plan to get a PCM tune when I get tires to correct the speedo and get some MPGs back. I will post pics of my lift install as soon as I can.

So with every project, you've got to keep good ol Murphy's law in mind. This project ended up taking up a lot more time and money than anticipated. If you feel like reading abou how much hassle this was you can consult this thread: Lift install issues - Chevrolet Colorado & GMC Canyon Forum
And for those of you who don't care, you can just check out the finished product here:

I apologize for the crapy pics... I think it looks really good though. The added costs involved with my lift have put a dent in my wheel/tire budget. It doesn't look silly as is though so I'm keeping what I've got for the near future.
