As long as the body lift is for any Colorado/Canyon, it should work. Suspension lifts are a different story though. Also, I'm not sure if you thought that the lift in the link above was a body lift or not? I hope you are aware that it isn't.

Thankyou

The Fabtech kit in your second link should work for you since it's made for a 2 wheel drive. What they are calling "spindles" are the blue items in the picture. That's not exactly correct though because those are actually steering knuckles. You'll reuse your existing spindles, which are the shafts on which the hubs/rotors spin. They'll bolt into that big hole in the center of the steering knuckle using the four bolt-holes that surround it.

The only issue I can think of is that since yours is a Z71, you'll want to relocate the TB mounting on the Lower Control Arm, but that's easy enough. Go to Skyjacker's website and look at their directions for their lift kit. You'll see how they just used a simple piece of flat plate to raise the mounting socket. It would be easy to fabricate.
