Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1987-1989 GMC R2500 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to provide exceptional durability and ride quality for your GMC R2500. Engineered with a large 2.25-inch body, these shocks offer increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during demanding use. This specific configuration is optimized for vehicles with 1.5 inches of front lift, delivering a smooth street feel while providing the rugged dent resistance required for work and off-road environments.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique progressive rebound and compression disc system provides balanced damping forces to ensure a controlled ride over varied terrain.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging minimizes air-to-oil mixture (foaming) to provide consistent performance and rapid response times.
• Twin-Tube Body: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch outer tube provides physical protection for the internal piston chamber to ensure reliability even if the outer shell is dented.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a high-clearance shield for the shock rod to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a vehicle that has already been equipped with 1.5 inches of front lift.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for daily driving and work trucks, as it allows the outer tube to take impacts or dents without affecting the movement of the internal piston.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55120) includes two front shocks to complete the front axle of your vehicle.
