How could I get my GMC Canyon lowered?

I was thinking it might be more practical for handling reasons if my truck sat a little lower to the ground (plus it would make it a lot easier to get in and out!). How could I get my GMC Canyon lowered?

It’s possible a lower vehicle could help you in both those areas! There are plenty of ways you could go about having your
GMC Canyon
lowered.
If it’s a job you’re comfortable taking care of yourself, you could look for a lowering kit or swap out your tires for different ones (while still making sure they’re compatible, of course!). You could also enlist the help of a trusted mechanic or body shop.
However, like with any major change to your vehicle, you’ll want to consider how you want to go about this, how much it will cost, and what kind of effect it could have on your GMC Canyon. As you weigh your options, here are just a few pros and cons to consider.
Pros of getting a GMC Canyon lowered:
  • Can improve handling
  • Can cause faster accelerating and braking
  • Could improve aesthetic appeal, depending on your preferences
  • Could improve aerodynamics
  • Lower rollover risk
Cons of getting a GMC Canyon lowered:
  • Risk of bottoming out
  • Less ground clearance
  • Rough terrain could damage undercarriage
  • Could lead to faster or uneven tire wear
  • Driving on anything but level surfaces can become impractical
