GMC Canyon Lift Kits: Choosing by Generation, 2004 to 2026
Share
This guide is for GMC Canyon owners shopping for a lift kit. On a Canyon, the first question is the generation: every kit is listed for specific years, and our pages split the truck three ways, 2004-2012, 2015-2022 and 2023-2026. Find yours, then compare lift height, engine and drive, and what comes in the box.
Find your Canyon generation
- Lift Kits for 2023-2026 GMC Canyon: the current truck. One title below excludes the AT4X, so read each title to the end.
- Lift Kits for 2015-2022 GMC Canyon: a 2019 Canyon belongs on this page.
- Lift Kits for 2004-2012 GMC Canyon: the first generation. The kit named below for these years is titled for gas engines.
Then check engine and drive. One title says Gas and one says 4WD; where a title is silent, the fitment table on the product page lists the exact years and configurations, and the vehicle selector confirms your truck. A suspension lift raises ride height to clear larger tires; component kits vary in what they include, so read the parts list too.
Kits to look at first
Titled for the 2023-2026 Canyon
The Rough Country 4" Lift Kit with N2 Rear Shocks, 23-26 Colorado/Canyon is titled for the 2023-2026 Colorado and Canyon, excluding the AT4X and ZR2. Its title says it comes with N2 rear shocks; the product page has the full parts list. More from the brand: Rough Country Lift Kits.
Titled for the 2004-2012 Canyon
The ReadyLift 2.25" Lift Kit, 04-12 Colorado/Canyon/04-12 Hummer H3/H3T Gas is, in ReadyLift's words, made for 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon and Hummer H3/H3T gas models, and lifts the vehicle 2.25 inches over stock ride height for added ground clearance. If your first-generation Canyon is not a gas truck, its title does not cover it.
ReadyLift kits to confirm in the fitment table
These two titles name no vehicle or years. Their fitment tables list the Canyon years and trims they cover, so open the product page before you order.
- The ReadyLift Suspension Lift Kit, 3.5" Lift (69-3535) gives 3.5" of front lift and 1" of rear lift, which ReadyLift describes as a level but lifted stance. ReadyLift says it is for gasoline engines only, is not recommended for diesel, and that use of the Auto 4 Hi feature is not recommended. Its notes also list an edition it is not compatible with.
- The ReadyLift Suspension Lift Kit, 2.5" Lift (69-33250) lifts the vehicle 2.5 inches over stock ride height, in ReadyLift's description.

Choosing a height
The heights in the titles here run from a 1 rear block to a 4" kit. Decide on your tire size first, then pick the lift that clears it, and check your province's rules on lift height and tire size before you order. Each product page lists the years, makes and models it fits. The whole category is under Truck Lift Kits. We ship across Canada, priced in Canadian dollars.
