Rancho RS5000X 1-2.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 2004-2012 GMC Canyon Torsion

Part Number: RS55301

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your GMC Canyon. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurization system, these twin-tube shocks minimize aeration and foaming to maintain consistent damping performance. Specifically configured for vehicles with 1-2.5 inches of rear lift, they offer a refined balance of street comfort and off-road resilience, effectively smoothing out harsh impacts on varied terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal valving provides a smoother transition between damping cycles to ensure controlled handling during sudden maneuvers.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in fluid foaming and cavitation to ensure consistent performance under high-cycle conditions.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch diameter shock body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC Canyon?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to be compatible with vehicles already equipped with a 1-2.5 inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The nitrogen gas charge keeps the internal hydraulic fluid under pressure, which prevents air bubbles from forming, ensuring the shocks don’t “fade” or lose firmness during rough driving.

Do these include the mounting hardware?
Yes, these shocks come with the necessary bushings and sleeves required for a standard installation into the factory mounting locations.
