Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured to work with vehicles that have 0-2 inches of existing rear lift to ensure proper suspension travel.
What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charging?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which allows the shock to maintain consistent damping performance even as temperatures rise during use.
Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55118_n626) includes two rear shocks.
