Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1973-1990 GMC G-2500

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your GMC G-2500. This twin-tube gas-pressurized shock is specifically engineered to handle the increased demands of a 1.5-inch front lift while maintaining smooth street comfort. By utilizing a progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide a plush ride during initial travel and firm control when encountering larger obstacles or uneven terrain.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive valving system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure consistent control across varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during extended use.
• Increased Fluid Capacity: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides superior heat dissipation to ensure optimal operating temperatures in demanding conditions.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against scuffing and corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for vehicles already equipped with a 1.5-inch front lift kit.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, ensuring the shock continues to function properly.

Does this include the shock boots?
Yes, this pair of RS5000X shocks includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rod from contaminants.
