Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1970-1991 GMC G-3500

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your GMC G-3500 or Jeep Wagoneer. Developed with a unique valving system, these shocks provide smooth street comfort while maintaining the durability required for heavy-duty work or off-road exploration. By utilizing gas-pressurization to minimize aeration, the RS5000X ensures consistent damping performance across varying terrains at stock ride height.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides increased control during high-velocity impacts to ensure a smooth transition between different road surfaces.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube construction provides reduced oil foaming and aeration to ensure fade-free performance during extended use.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: An included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical shield for the piston rod to ensure the oil seal remains free from debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, these shocks are configured for vehicles at 0 inches of lift and do not provide any lift height on their own.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55120) includes a pair of two shocks for the front position.
