We leveled a Chevy Colorado ZR2 with Peak upper control arms and Eibach leveling springs — raising the front, correcting the geometry that a level throws off, and opening room for a bigger tire, all while keeping the ZR2's factory off-road hardware working. A dialed setup on an already-serious platform.
This Colorado ZR2 came through Juggernaut USA in Wheat Ridge (Denver), CO for a leveling setup. The ZR2 is the most capable Colorado from the factory — lockers front and rear, wider track, real off-road shocks — so the goal was to build on that, not fight it. Eibach leveling springs raise the front, and Peak upper control arms restore the geometry so the alignment and ball-joint angles stay correct at the new height.

Peak upper control arms and Eibach springs
Eibach's leveling springs set the new front height and add a bit of lift over stock. On their own, though, raising the front pushes the factory upper control arms toward the edge of their travel and throws off the alignment. Peak's upper control arms fix that — they are built for the raised height, restoring correct ball-joint clearance and giving the alignment room to dial back in. Together they level the ZR2 the right way, so it drives and wears tires properly.
Building on a capable platform
The point of leveling a ZR2 is not to change what it is — it is to unlock more of it. The added front height and the tire room it creates let this truck run a more aggressive all-terrain and clear bigger obstacles, on top of the lockers and off-road suspension it already came with. It is a targeted upgrade that respects the platform.
Common questions on this build
Why do I need upper control arms to level a ZR2?
Raising the front with springs changes the suspension geometry and can bind the factory upper arms and limit alignment. Aftermarket upper control arms built for the new height restore correct angles and let the truck align properly.
Does leveling hurt the ZR2's factory ride?
Done right, no. Matching quality springs and control arms to the platform keeps the ride composed while raising the stance and adding tire clearance.
Can you level my Colorado or Canyon?
Yes — leveling and lift setups, wheels and tires, and the geometry work to keep them driving right. We do it in-house.
