Can you remove the 2" lift kit that is standard on the new 2023 Canyons.

Can you remove the 2" lift kit that is standard on the new 2023 Canyons. Don't need the height, don't go off road. Would like to lower for easier access.

No.  Trade it for a Colorado LT?  

 

I would advise not to as it would get expensive.  All Canyon trims except the AT4X are built like the Colorado Trail Boss so wide track axles and the 2 inch "lift".  The lift is achieved via blocks under the rear leaf springs and in front, a taller knuckle, different control arms and CV shafts for geometry changes. 

 

So you'd have to swap knuckles, control arms, CV axles and remove the rear blocks but then you'd throw the entire front and rear track off as it would narrow the front track width but the rear would still be wide as it has the wide track rear axle.
