About this part

M1 Loaded Struts, fitment-checked

Rough Country 502173 is a pair of M1 loaded monotube struts for 2023-2026 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon 4WD models running 6 inches of lift. They cannot be paired with a strut spacer, and they are not an application for ZR2 models. Estimated install time is 2-3 hours.

This M1 loaded strut pair fits 2023-2026 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon 4WD trucks — Colorado LT, WT, Z71, and Trail Boss, plus Canyon AT4, Denali, and Elevation — but only when the truck already has 6 inches of lift. Each strut uses a 46mm monotube body inside a 2-inch extruded tube, a 46mm digressive piston, and an 18mm chromed rod, with self-adjusting deflective-disc valving handling rebound and compression separately. Zinc plating and vulcanized rubber bushings handle the weather. Confirm your lift height and rule out a strut spacer before ordering. Warranty: 3 Year Limited Warranty.
