Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Lift Shocks for 1987-1991 GMC V3500 4WD

Part Number: RS55151 / RS55132

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to deliver improved handling and durability for your 1987-1991 GMC V3500 4WD. Engineered for vehicles with 0-2 inches of lift, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and foaming common in heavy-duty applications. This set provides the ideal balance of off-road ruggedness and smooth street comfort, ensuring a controlled ride across varying terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent ride quality.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure fade-free performance during sustained cycling.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide maximum strength at high-stress points to ensure durability under heavy loads.
