2015-2017 GMC Canyon 6-inch Suspension Lift Kit by Rough Country

Motor Trend’s 2015 Truck of the Year takes on a whole new life when outfitted with a Rough Country 6-inch Suspension Lift Kit. Transform your GMC Canyon from mid-size to masterpiece with these head-turning components that come together to give your truck an aggressive appearance and killer off-road performance.
Rough Country’s 6-inch Suspension Lift Kit for the GMC Canyon is designed to be all inclusive while minimally invasive and easy to install with no welding, strut disassembly, or inner fender well trimming required. Rough Country's Research and Development Team engineered this kit to mirror the factory design and uses the preferred lower strut extension setup to keep everything in line for a smooth ride. This innovative design ensures proper angles for tie rod clearance resulting in no need to cut or replace the factory tie rod and looks much cleaner within the wheel well.
This kit ships with a set of lifted knuckles designed specifically to work in harmony with the strut extensions to retain the factory geometry and keep the stock track width entact. Also included are a set of differential brackets designed to retain proper differential orientation eliminating the need for a drive shaft spacer. A set of rear fabricated lift blocks and Rough Country N2.0 Nitrogen charged shocks bring the whole kit together, offering plenty of ride height to run up to a 285/65 R18 tire. Best of all, this kit includes Rough Country’s Lifetime Replacement Guarantee.

A 4- and 5-inch version of this lift is also available allowing you to run up to a 275/65 R18 tire.

iv got my 6" lift on check out my vid

[@aodsuperman]

Why did rough country tell me 305/65/r18

[@AlejandroVentura-w5k]

I wish they have a video how to do a 4" on 2016 4wd Chevy Colorado Z71

[@bobbyb608]

The canyon grill looks so much better than the colorado

[@niceprince]

Honestly I think both look good. I'd have a hard time choosing.

[@thomasrainbow]

The Colorado grill looks like a smashed grilled cheese sandwich lol

[@genius-no5sl]

This looks awesome

[@davidacosta9596]

Just had the 6in installed on my 2.8L and I love it! The ride is just as comfortable as stock. Great job with the N3 shocks!

[@georgekoons5594]

I noticed your post was a year ago. Is the ride on your truck still good? Any steering or handling issues that you've noticed while driving at different speeds?

[@MafiaBoy206]

Yeah would be good to get an update and how much it cost you to do that.

[@alexsummers3700]

How’s that lift holding up? Also what’s your average MPG now compared to what it was?

[@davidacosta9596]

@@alexsummers3700 lift is still holding up. Mileage did drop, average about 23-25 highway now (used to average about 27-29 highway). Just to note that I don’t have a lead foot and drive conservative.

[@SECRETGOVERMENT2012]

just orded my wheels tires 6" lift kit with struts and side steps get it fitted wen it all comes in

[@donnynelson6945]

I installed a 6” RC lift on my 2018 GMC Canyon. I use the new N3 struts and shocks that came with kit. I also used the stock 18 chrome wheels. I didn’t like my choices on aftermarket wheels. Had to use 2” wheel spacers. I also went with 33x12.5x18 tires. A little rubbing on inner liner in front on full turn. Had to remove air dam too. I could of just trimmed it, but looks way tougher without it. I did everything in garage except mount tires. Took me 21 1/2 hours start to finish. I took my time and made sure everything was done. Wish instructions were a little more clear and included factory torque specs. Would definitely recommend this kit. For the money you can’t beat it. Put a RC lift on wife’s Jeep too. No issues. Going to go from a 2 1/2 on my Jeep to a 4 1/2 long arm on my Jeep TJ. Thanks for everything RC

[@SECRETGOVERMENT2012]

wow fast delivery only took 24hrs for the kit to arrive 😆 . i got 6" lift kit with struts rockstar 2 18/9 and a set of renegade R7 M/T and the side steps its gona look sick and my new black edition grill is at the dealership waiting to be put on cant wait should have it all done by wensday .

[@alexfithero]

I should have gotten a small truck like this

[@codhs99]

What are the tire and wheel specs on the truck in the video?

[@lljj2839]

Hello there! Can I do international logistics? I am not in the United States or Canada.

[@elosvi1887]

If i install the 6 inch lift kit on my 2015 canyon 4x4 with 275/65/20 all terrain tires what will be my totall height?? my garage is 7ft totall height, thanks

[@RoughCountryTV]

We don't offer overall ride height on vehicles due to tire size varying. But for every 1" size tire over stock height size would add an additional 1/2" of lift.

[@HotrodShane]

where can I buy this truck

[@jeffhorton8737]

i want it

[@josephbattaglia3690]

ok man. thank you

[@williambutera1425]

what rims are on there

[@RoughCountryTV]

www.roughcountry.com/wheels/xd-series-wheels/xd811-rockstar-ii.html 18x9 with 4.5" backspacing

[@chrishuffman2438]

I can't find the 6x120 bolt pattern for these wheels on your website or anywhere?

[@mapope]

William Butera what body style is this

[@ARW8319]

I would love this lift kit for my 2015 canyon sadly I can’t afford this. Rough country does some awesome lift kits.

[@josephbattaglia3690]

did lifting the truck effect the mpg?

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Joseph Battaglia with the lift and the bigger tires you will see a slight decline in mpg. The change will vary.

[@fit4ya1975]

.

[@rcairforceone]

Driving style is the largest factor in fuel economy. When i lifted my 99 Sierra 1500 I only lost about 1-2mpg in the city, none on the highway.

[@fit4ya1975]

I lifted my 2014 Sierra Crew SLT 4x4, 6" with 35" tires. I got 10-11 city and 13-15 HWY. Re-gearing woulda helped but I sold it before I got to do that. So i lost ALOT of MPG.

[@AceDMDL]

Could you install this kit yourself or would I be best to take it to a shop?

[@UnboxTactical]

Delaware State Law Requires the back bumper can not exceed 30 inches from the ground, which lift would be ideal for my 2015 4WD Canyon 4in, 5in, or 6in? I would just put stock tires back on for DMV time but its noted Stock tires/wheels will not work with this lift. I really want to do a 6in lift

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Michael Robertson The 4" will be your best bet to keep the bumper height under 30"

[@UnboxTactical]

+Rough Country Stock tires/wheels wouldn't be safe to run 5 miles max to the DMV?

[@drew1380]

why can't I find the 6x120 bolt pattern on any of the KMC wheels on your website?

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Pono 808 We do not offer anything in that bolt patter. What type of vehicle do you have?

[@drew1380]

Doesn't the 2015-2016 Colorado/Canyon have a bolt pattern of 6x120?

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Pono 808 Yes. We buy wheels with no bolt holes (which are typically called "blanks") and then have the holes custom drilled to match the bolt pattern we need. All the wheels we've used on the 2015-2016 Colorado/Canyon's have been custom drilled.

[@hangxu9416]

is it +0 offset?

[@fit4ya1975]

So does Rough Country upgrade the brakes or the rear end gear ratio?? Seems all these lift companies never mention that, which both are very important for performance.

[@RoughCountryTV]

+fit4ya1975 Brake line brackets relocate the brake lines. You can re gear if you would like. You will lose about 8% power, not significant.

[@fit4ya1975]

i had a 6" lift on my 14" Sierra Crew cab, I lost a lot more than 8% power, it ws very noticeable. Also re-gearing and BIGGER brakes are very important for performance and safety, which NO company ever does. Also my MPG went from 16 cry/22hwy to about 11 city 14 hwy...

[@LeonidasD828]

fit4ya1975 No offense man, but you are comparing a sierra which is already huge to a canyon can’t compare

[@raymonmann4680]

Did the lift kit even out the truck? Or is it just the video making it look level.

[@RoughCountryTV]

Yes this kit is designed to lift and level the stance.

[@michaeln807]

Does it come with me bump stops so it won't bottom out?

[@RoughCountryTV]

No this does not come with bump stops. After install and alignment you would not need them.

[@alejandrovargas9002]

will it fit the new 2016 diesel colorado??

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Alejandro Vargas No. But be sure to subscribe for an announcement on that soon.

[@alejandrovargas9002]

I sure will. Thanks

[@BjornTuroc2112]

[@721bad17]

Does this Kit work with a 16 canyon 2WD?

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Daniel Kilmer Here is the one you need for the 2WD www.roughcountry.com/gm-suspension-lift-kit-285-20.html

[@derekjohnson9290]

did you use spacers or adapters on this truck?

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Derek Johnson This kit uses the lift knuckle for the front but depending on backspacing of tires you would need to use wheel spacers for rear.

[@fit4ya1975]

+Derek Johnson never use spacers, get the appropriate backspace on your wheels

[@JackStone2994]

Long or short bed?

[@RoughCountryTV]

+Jack Stone It will fit the short wheel base and the long wheel base trucks

[@JackStone2994]

Rough Country I know. But was that truck in video short or long box?

[@InTooDeeep]

+Jack Stone short box

[@kichansilva]

this truck looks so funny!! It looks like a chubby dog XD
