Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon Lift & Leveling Hub

The midsize GM twins split into 2015–2022 and 2023+ — and the second generation breaks the usual pattern: per GMC’s own launch material, every 2023+ Canyon is factory-lifted (about 2 inches on standard trims, 3 inches on the AT4X), and the Colorado follows the same raised template. That is why ReadyLIFT’s 1.5-inch leveling kit for the 2023+ trucks yields only about an inch on a GMC: part of the “level” is already there. Shopping these trucks starts with knowing how much lift you already own.

We have not hands-on tested kits for this platform. Everything published here is tied to a cited source — manufacturer fitment pages, checked 2026-11-04 — and our method is explained in how we test and verify.

Check first: the exclusions that decide everything

• ZR2 (both generations) and AT4X / AT4 (2023+). The halo off-road trims are excluded from the mainstream kits — Rough Country’s 2-inch level excludes the ZR2, and ReadyLIFT’s 3.5-inch SST for the older trucks is gasoline-only and excludes ZR2 and AT4 as well as the diesel.
• Not every kit fits both twins. ReadyLIFT’s 3-inch SST for 2023+ trucks is Colorado-only — the Canyon’s upper-control-arm design excludes it, whatever a dealer listing says. (One dealer listing showed the Trail Boss as fitting; ReadyLIFT’s own page overruled it, and the kit also excludes the Trail Boss. The manufacturer’s page wins on this site, every time.)
• Diesel owners (2015–2022). The Duramax trucks are excluded from the SST kits but are compatible with Rough Country’s 2-inch level — engine is a fitment field here, not a detail.

The verified ladder

Five kits: Rough Country’s 2-inch level ($49.95) and 2-inch lift ($99.95) for the older trucks, ReadyLIFT’s 3.5-inch SST for 2015–2022 and its 1.5-inch level and Colorado-only 3-inch SST for 2023+, with manufacturer-stated tires up to 285/75R17 (about 33.8 inches). One record (Rough Country’s 922) rests on dealer listings reproducing Rough Country data and says so in its record — the same disclosure standard as the rest of the site. The full list is in our Colorado and Canyon leveling kits guide.

Your workflow on this platform

1. Name your generation — and on a 2023+, subtract the factory lift from your goal before shopping.
2. Check ZR2 / AT4X / Trail Boss badges and, on older trucks, your engine.
3. Confirm the kit names your exact twin (Colorado vs Canyon) — shared platform does not mean shared part numbers.
4. Convert your tire goal with the tire size calculator, sanity-check it against the tire size and lift height guide, and price the whole job with how much does it cost to lift a truck. New to the vocabulary? Start with leveling kit vs lift kit vs body lift.
