1.25 Inch Front Leveling Kit for 2015-2023 GMC Canyon 2WD & 4x4 (Excludes ZR2)

Achieve a balanced stance on your GMC Canyon with the Tuff Country 12918 1.25-inch front leveling kit, engineered to lift the front end precisely while preserving the original ride feel. This kit addresses the factory rake by raising the front axle 1.25 inches, creating room for up to 265/65R17 tires without fender modifications and boosting ground clearance for everyday driving and light off-road use. Drivers report sharper cornering response and reduced nose dive during braking, thanks to the even weight distribution it provides. Built from durable billet aluminum spacers that resist corrosion and wear, this setup delivers reliable results mile after mile, backed by Tuff Country's limited lifetime warranty and made entirely in the USA. For Canyon owners seeking straightforward enhancement to aesthetics and capability, the 12918 stands out with its bolt-on design that installs in under two hours using basic tools, no strut disassembly or welding needed.

Installation Overview

The 12918 installs directly onto the factory struts using common tools like a torque wrench, socket sets, and floor jacks. Key steps include removing wheels and struts, positioning the spacers above the coils, and torquing hardware to specs (e.g., strut nuts at 30 ft-lbs, lower control arm bolts at 125 ft-lbs). Full alignment is recommended post-install, and retorque after 100 miles. Professional installation is advised for safety.

Leveling Kits

Leveling kits raise the front of a truck or SUV to match the height of the rear, eliminating the factory rake that most manufacturers build in for payload compensation. Beyond the cleaner stance, a leveled vehicle gains additional front tire clearance for larger wheel and tire upgrades without a full suspension lift. Popular Upgrades Best-selling leveling kit options include aluminum billet spacer leveling kits for Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, and RAM 1500, strut extension leveling kits for independent front suspension trucks that avoid disturbing the factory strut, and leveling kit and shock combos that replace the factory strut unit with a longer shock and spacer for proper spring travel and ride quality. Will a leveling kit affect my truck's ride quality? A properly installed spacer leveling kit adds minimal weight and does not dramatically change spring rate, so most drivers find ride quality is maintained or slightly improved due to the more level attitude. However, leveling ki...

Suspension

Suspension

Aftermarket suspension systems improve handling, ride quality, and ride height adjustment beyond what the factory suspension provides. From lowering springs and coilover kits for sport handling to lift kits and leveling kits for truck and SUV off-road capability, quality suspension components transform how a vehicle rides and handles.
