Product Details

Rancho RS55325 is a suspension shock absorber engineered for the rear position on 2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and 2004-2012 GMC Canyon trucks equipped with a Rancho Suspension System, rear raised height of 2.5 inches, and without a rear aluminum driveshaft. The RS5000X product line focuses on controlled damping through a unique valving setup and compression tuning, helping the rear suspension respond more consistently to road inputs and uneven surfaces. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive rear-end bounce over broken pavement
  • Reduced control after suspension lift or raised rear height changes
  • Harsh or unsettled ride response from worn rear shocks
  • Inconsistent handling on mixed on-road and off-road driving
  • Loss of damping performance in the rear suspension
