Rancho RS5000X 4″ Lift Shocks for 1999-2004 Chevy Silverado 2500

Part Number: RS55296 / RS55297

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted heavy-duty applications. Engineered specifically for vehicles with a 4-inch lift, these shocks utilize a unique progressive engagement valving system to minimize harshness during initial impacts. This setup ensures a smooth street ride while maintaining the durability required for off-road excursions and towing tasks.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a soft response during low-velocity movements to ensure a comfortable highway ride.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure consistent damping performance under varying temperatures.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style ends provide extreme structural integrity to ensure long-term durability during heavy-duty off-road use.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density pivot points provide enhanced road isolation to ensure a quiet and controlled cabin environment.

Why Choose This Product?

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks provide 4 inches of lift to my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and extended in length to function correctly on vehicles already equipped with a 4-inch suspension lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger 2.25-inch body and specialized valving that transitions more smoothly between soft and firm settings compared to standard replacement shocks.

Are the dust boots included with this set?
Yes, this SKU includes the signature Rancho red protective boots to keep debris away from the shock rods and oil seals.
