Rancho RS5000X 5-6″ Front Lift Shocks for 2011-2018 Chevy Silverado 3500HD

Part Number: RS55382

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted heavy-duty trucks. Engineered for the 2011-2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 3500HD, these gas-pressurized shocks utilize a progressive engagement valving system to manage the increased unsprung weight of larger wheel and tire combinations. This twin-tube design is specifically configured for 5-6 inch front lift heights, delivering a balance of rugged durability and smooth highway comfort by minimizing harshness during initial impacts.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive valving system provides customized damping across varying terrain to ensure consistent control during off-road use and street driving.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: 150 PSI gas charge provides a minimized air-to-oil contact to ensure rapid response and reduced foaming.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy work cycles.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and configured for vehicles that already have a 5-6 inch front lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design on a 3500HD?
The twin-tube design offers excellent durability; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded during off-road or job site use.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55382_n131) includes two front shocks to complete the front axle of your vehicle.
