Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your GMC V2500. Utilizing a cross-tuned twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for 0-2 inches of front lift, managing the increased unsprung weight of larger tire and wheel packages. The gas-pressurized construction helps minimize aeration and foaming, ensuring consistent damping performance during both daily commuting and light off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition through the stroke to ensure maximum comfort on uneven terrain.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: The 150 PSI nitrogen charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced shock fade and aeration.
• Protective Boot Included: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure longevity against road debris and corrosion.
• OE-Style Mounts: Precision-engineered mounting points provide a direct-fit installation to ensure a secure connection to the factory chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to accommodate vehicles that already have 0-2 inches of front lift installed.

Do I need to purchase boots separately?
No, these Rancho RS5000X shocks include the signature red protective boots to keep the piston rods clean.

What is the benefit of the gas charge?
The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge prevents the oil from foaming during rapid cycling, which maintains consistent damping performance during spirited driving.
