Default Lowering a 4wd Colorado

Ok first I have not done ANY searching on my own about this yet but, I figure someone out there prolly knows something so.

As you can tell I'm VERY undecided what I want to get but, if I got a new 4wd I'd want to lower it. Does anyone make lowering stuff for the 4wds? I guess the biggest issue would be the front suspension.

Thanks

Went out and looked at my little brother 07 4x4 CC and doesn't look like there's room for any kind of shackle drop in the back and the axle is already on the top of the spring, so probable just 2" lowering blocks back there. The front is torsion bars, so de-cranking them, maybe different keys??? Some one probable makes a drop spindle if you want more then that. That's all I know.

Thanks!

The rear is no problem, everyone has stuff to lower it. The front though.

If I'm not mistaken the ZQ8 is the sport package, which was only made in 2WD
