Rancho RS5000X 5-6″ Front Lift Shocks for 2011-2018 Chevy Silverado 2500HD

Part Number: RS55382

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve handling and control on heavy-duty GM trucks. Engineered with a unique valving system, these shocks mitigate the harsh impacts typical of lifted suspension geometries while maintaining a smooth street ride. Designed specifically for vehicles configured with 5 to 6 inches of front lift, they provide the necessary travel to prevent bottoming out during off-road excursions or heavy-load hauling.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression and rebound circuit provides a smoother transition between damping cycles to ensure consistent comfort on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during sustained use.
• Velocity Sensitive Orificing: High-speed damping control provides rapid response to road imperfections to ensure maximum tire-to-ground contact.
• Protective Boot Included: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the shock rod to ensure seal longevity against debris and corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically sized and valved to work on trucks that have already been modified with a 5-6″ lift kit.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design on an HD truck?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; the outer tube can take a dent from road debris without affecting the inner piston’s movement, ensuring you aren’t stranded if a shock body is struck.

Can these be used on a stock height Silverado 2500HD?
No, these shocks are too long for a stock height vehicle and will bottom out, potentially causing damage to the shock and the vehicle’s mounting points.
