Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1970-1995 GMC G-1500

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your GMC G-1500 or AM General FJ-9. By incorporating a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks minimize harshness during initial impacts while maintaining firm control on rougher terrain. This gas-pressurized solution is engineered to deliver consistent street comfort and rugged durability for stock-height applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure a controlled ride on varied road surfaces.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging reduces oil foaming and aeration to ensure fade-free performance during extended use.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch outer tube provides increased oil capacity and physical protection for the internal piston to ensure long-term durability against road debris.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Band: A specialized piston seal provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure rapid response to suspension inputs.
