I've been doing some research and it seems that the Colorado/Canyon people (Who have LOTS of lifts available ) do shackles to do the rear lift and a t-bar crank in the front. Typically this seems to yeild about 2 inches of lift on the cheap.
This sort of lift WOULD get the front hanger up away from the rocks.
Here is a pic of a Fabtech 3.5" Spindle/Shackle lift for the colorado/canyon. Only $600 too...

One small issue....may-beh... this kit is for 2WD??
2004 - 2005 Chevy/GMC Colorado/Canyon 2WD - 3.5" Spindle System
Fabtech?s Spindle system for the new midsize Colorado and Canyon features a cast replacement spindle that directly replaces the OE unit for a fast install. System includes steering stops, front brake lines and a rear shackle system to level the vehicle.
