The Z71 adds all that minus the lift, with a better interior. The Z71 should have had that lift to begin with. The Z71 has always been the off-road oriented package. I doubt the suspension components are a significant part of the increased cost. If anything, the majority of it is the 4x4 components, which the Z71 already has. Adding the lift to the Z71 should realistically have minimal impact on the price. There is no way a 2” lift costs 3k from the factory. I lifted my Z71 3” for about $1500 and that’s paying aftermarket prices.

TB also includes the center console, express up windows, locking tailgate, wheel moldings, full size spare, and locking rear diff as standard features better than the WT.
GMPP offers the 2" lift for the 2023 Colorado for $500. PN pulled from the GM PP Catalog

So maybe it wouldn't be too bad to just add it to the Z71 and it should be a factory option, but the purpose of the TB is to be a more capable WT not a watered down Z71. Just get a Z71 with the non-factory lift for a better interior if the only desired mechanical difference from TB to Z71 is the lift. Either way, doesn't discount the existence of the TB for people who don't care about interiors. Hell, I bought a 1SS because I just wanted to go fast, leather be damned (though I have since added leather). Also I couldn't afford a 2SS at 21 but I could swing the 1SS haha.
