axle over spring with blocks out back and new shocks.

front will need new A-arms but its a pretty straight forward install. its a 2wd im assuming.

as far as keeping stock tire height. it may or may not fit, you'll just have to measure how much room you have up front stock.

most people just do a 2 inch drop up front and a 4 out back to keep it level.

theres a big colorado forum out there, if you google search you can find it pretty easy.

also. shouldnt this be in the lounge? not gto related ... idk.

as much as you might trust us. not very many of us have colorado/canyons. and even fewer of us are lowering them. i personally dont have one, but i was a trucker before i got my goat. had a big old silverado. but i talked with a few colorado guys and was considering getting one for a while. so i did some research.

im not sure, but it looks like the 2wd colorados may have axle over spring out back, which will make it slightly easier, just put bigger blocks in the rear.
