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 twin-tube gas pressurized design, these shocks are specifically configured for 4-inch rear lift heights to maintain proper suspension travel. The Cross-Tuned technology balances street comfort with off-road control, effectively neutralizing harsh impacts and vibrations encountered on uneven terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a smooth transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure consistent control during varied driving conditions.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against rock chips and corrosion.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter outer reserve tube provides extra oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure the internal piston remains functional even in harsh environments.
