Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality for your GMC V1500. Designed for vehicles with 0-2 inches of front lift, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks provide the ideal balance of on-road comfort and off-road durability. This shock is engineered to handle the unique demands of square-body Suburban geometry, ensuring consistent damping and dent resistance during rugged use.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive rebound and compression disc valve system provides precise control at all speeds to ensure a smooth, controlled ride on any terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and structural durability to ensure the internal piston remains protected from trail debris and rock strikes.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and strength to ensure long-term sealing and performance in harsh environments.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent damping force during rapid cycling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC V1500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with 0 to 2 inches of front lift to ensure proper suspension travel.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a much larger body and sophisticated valving that reacts faster to road imperfections, providing better cooling and longevity than stock replacements.

Can these be used on a truck with Quad Suspension?
No, these are designed for standard front suspension configurations and exclude models equipped with the O.E. Quad Suspension option.
