Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your GMC G-1500. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically valved to handle the weight and geometry of classic van and utility applications. By implementing Rancho’s Crossed-Piston technology, this set delivers smooth street comfort while maintaining the ruggedness required for heavy-duty use, ensuring your vehicle remains stable under various load conditions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure consistent ride quality on uneven surfaces.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended highway hauls.
• Crossed-Piston Technology: A unique valve arrangement provides improved low-speed damping to ensure better steering response and reduced body roll.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm hardened rod provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
