About this part

N3 Loaded Strut Pair, fitment-checked

Rough Country 501173 is a pair of N3 loaded lifted struts for 2023-2026 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon 4WD trucks that already carry 6 inches of lift. Each strut arrives with the coil pre-loaded, so it goes in as a bolt-on replacement for the existing strut spacers. It cannot be run together with a strut spacer, and it does not fit ZR2 models.

This N3 loaded strut pair suits 2023-2026 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon 4WD trucks with 6 inches of lift, covering LT, Trail Boss, WT, and Z71 on the Colorado side and AT4, Denali, and Elevation on the Canyon side. The struts are built to take the place of spacers on an already-lifted truck, not to create lift on a stock one, and ZR2 models are excluded. Each unit uses velocity-sensitive valving, a 1 3/8in bore, nitrogen charging, and a hardened chrome-plated piston rod under a silver powder coat finish. Plan roughly 2-3 hours for the swap.
