Has anyone got a kit out now for the Colorado/Canyon?Mainly the front.

What type of AirRide Technologies airbag/strut can you use on the front?

Check with John Myer at www.cleancutcreations.comI know that he and Mike White from BYC are in the process of making the new control arms for the Colorado, he should be able to help you out.

Na na man, at the time the Colorado had just came out, what he did in the front was put a mustang II front independant system, what I say you should do is call him, from what he told me a couple of weeks ago they are CLOSE to haveing the Colorado arms done. Give him a call, he will tell U straight up what is going on with them.

I think Air Ride has a bag kit for those now,but it doesn't lay the truck out.I did one and used the DJM lower arms,and some serious reworking of the upper arms to get it to lay out.I also had to raise the rack and pinion unit because of tierod bind,but others told me they didn't have this problem.Dunno why they were different.I know Barnyard is working on a set of upper and lower arms,and I guess Clean Cut is too,so that should make it alot easier.I used shockwave's on the front the one I did.Can't remember the part number right now,but it was the one's will the longest stroke.

I am gonna be done with the new lowers next week. then the bag mounts and all that will be done shortly after that. bagging is pretty simple, just a matter of cutting the frame and notching it to make room for a bag and plating. then the rear is easy, same step as an S-10. raise the gas tank crossmember 1" and use a regular 3 or 4 link with a watts link or a reverse 4 link, or even a 5 link.
