Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Lift Shocks for 1987 GMC V1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the handling and ride quality of your GMC V1500. Designed for vehicles with 0-2 inches of lift, these twin-tube shocks feature a large 2.25-inch body that increases fluid capacity for cooler operation. This setup provides the perfect balance of rugged off-road durability and smooth street comfort, making it an ideal upgrade for daily-driven classics.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of damping force to ensure a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining control during aggressive maneuvers.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: Nitrogen gas charging provides consistent performance by reducing aeration and foaming to ensure reliable damping in diverse environments.
• 2.25-inch Shock Body: An increased outer diameter provides greater oil capacity to ensure maximum heat dissipation during sustained use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
