Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Lift Shocks for 1987 GMC R1500 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to provide a refined ride for your GMC R1500. Designed for durability and smooth street comfort, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to handle the added demands of a 1.5-inch lift. By minimizing aeration and foaming, the RS5000X ensures consistent damping performance during daily driving and light utility tasks.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure maximum comfort on varied road surfaces.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent response and prevents oil foaming to ensure fade-free performance.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and strength 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 configured for vehicles already equipped with a 1.5-inch lift kit to ensure the piston operates within its optimal travel range.

Does this include all four shocks?
Yes, this specific SKU includes a full set of 4 shocks (2 front and 2 rear) tailored for your vehicle’s configuration.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over the original RS5000?
The “X” represents the cross-tuned technology which provides an improved valving profile for better handling and a more controlled ride compared to standard twin-tube shocks.
