I do have a suspension enhancement system for you but the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-212-40 will not fit a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado or a 2018 GMC Canyon with the diesel engine. The reason for this is because this kit clamps around the frame rail and there are components on the frame rail for the diesel fuel system.

Instead, I recommend using the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCCA which are very similar to the SumoSprings is how they install and function but offer a bit more support. This system will attach to the leaf spring so there won't be any issues with the components on the frame rail for the diesel fuel system.
