Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design that provides a significant upgrade over factory damping for your GMC V1500. By utilizing a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks minimize harshness during initial impacts while maintaining firm control during spirited driving. Engineered for durability and street comfort, they are the ideal solution for drivers seeking a reliable, dent-resistant shock for daily use and light trail duty.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve base system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure consistent comfort across varying terrain.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide rapid response to road irregularities to ensure maximum tire-to-road contact.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: A low-pressure Nitrogen charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance in demanding conditions.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

The RS5000X features a larger 2.25-inch body and cross-tuned valving, which allows for increased oil capacity and better heat dissipation compared to smaller diameter OE shocks.
