FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does a Colorado Lift Kit cost?
Prices start from only $385 for a 2 inch Economy lift kit. This is great value for those on a tight budget who simply want a lift to improve appearance in a cost-effective way.
That said, most people opt for a 2 or 3 inch Premium or Extreme lift kit. These are without doubt our most popular lift kit packages in the Colorado range.
Depending on your vehicle, its setup and the suspension components in the lift kit, prices for these packages range from the $1,600 to $2,600.
Which lift heights are available for Colorado models?
We currently offer Holden Colorado lift kits of the following heights through our website:
- 2 inch lift kits (50mm lift)
- 3 inch lift kits (75mm lift Front & 50mm Rear)
Please note that all height classifications are for generalisation purposes only and that the degree of raised or lowered heights may vary between part numbers and vehicles.
Variations can be caused by different accessories fitted, variations of materials used for added accessories, age and condition of the vehicle, weight of the engine and changes made to the vehicle after install i.e adding accessories or removing constant load.
How to lift a Colorado?
Raising the ride height of your 4x4 Holden Colorado can be achieved by fitting a lift kit.
Depending on the particular model variant, a lift kit usually consists of raised leaf springs, raised coil springs or upgraded torsion bars as well as long travel shocks and other fitting components.
Extended rear shackles and front strut spacers are also another lift option.
Torsion bars can be adjusted or wound up to raise the front ride height of the vehicle. The same can be achieved with aftermarket upgraded Torsion bars, which are included in our kits. When doing so it is important to ensure sufficient droop is maintained.
Replacing the standard leaf or coil springs with raised springs will increase the ride height. Raised Leaf and Coil springs are designed with a heavier grade material over the OE springs and varying spring rates are available to suit accessories fitted or constant load carrying.
When fitting raised springs we always recommend fitting long travel shocks.
How to install a Colorado lift kit?
Installing suspension parts should always be completed by a qualified person or at a licensed workshop.
If you choose to install the kit yourself, we can supply assembled front struts for ease of installation.
The ‘Strut Assembly Option’ is an additional $180 and includes two new top mounts and labour to assemble the parts.
Once the installation is complete, a wheel alignment is required.
If you choose to install the kit yourself we strongly recommend taking the vehicle to a suspension workshop for a check-over. Most workshops offer free or inexpensive inspections. Better to be safe than sorry!
Step-by-step instructions are not included with all parts and only basic instructions are included where required. You can also refer to the vehicle owner's manual if required.
COLORADO LIFT KIT TYPES
When browsing our Colorado range, you’ll notice we offer Economy, Premium and Extreme lift kit packages. We also offer Colorado Levelling kits.
Here is some more information about the different types of Colorado lift kits we offer, so you can easily find the right solution for your needs.
Economy Colorado Lift Kits
Our Economy lift kits are a great option for those who are looking to improve the look and raise the ride height of their Colorado at minimal cost.
These basic lift kit setups include a minimum of components and are the most cost-effective, which is perfect if you’re on a budget.
Premium Colorado Lift Kits
Our Premium lift kits have been expertly designed to tick all the boxes when it comes to offering your Colorado the most complete of suspension packages.
Premium lift kit packages are designed to improve off-road use and load carrying. Most kits include the option to select the Front and Rear Setup. This allows you to customise the kit based on the additional heavy accessories fitted or rear load carrying requirements.
This is the ideal option for tradies or those who enjoy heading off-road!
Extreme Colorado Lift Kits
You guessed it, our Extreme lift kits are the way to go if you want to equip your Colorado for the most challenging off-road adventures!
Designed to add much-needed wheel travel and ground clearance for when you’re exploring Australia’s toughest terrains. This is the ultimate suspension upgrade!
Most kits include either adjustable shock absorbers or are a taller lift kit (3”).
Colorado Levelling Kits
Similar to our Economy Kits, the Levelling Kits are a basic upgrade designed to improve the look of your vehicle. Most 4WD’s have a ‘nose down’ appearance from standard and these kits are designed to alleviate this to give the vehicle a more level stance.
These basic lift kit setups include a minimum of components and are another cost-effective option.

As mentioned earlier, all our Colorado lift kits are carefully assembled, using only components of the highest quality from industry-leading brands such as Tough Dog, Koni, Rancho, Bilstein, King Springs and Roadsafe.
