Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1987 GMC V2500 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your GMC V2500. Engineered for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, these gas-pressurized shocks excel at absorbing harsh impacts while maintaining smooth street manners. The oversized shock body allows for increased fluid capacity, ensuring consistent damping performance and durability during both daily driving and off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure maximum comfort on varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging reduces aeration and shock fade to ensure consistent damping under heavy-duty cycles.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides high oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: The included heavy-duty poly-vinyl accordion boot protects the piston rod from debris to ensure seal longevity.

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 2.5 to 4-inch front suspension lift to ensure proper travel and prevent bottoming out.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which maintains consistent damping force even as the shock heats up during off-road use.

Are these sold in pairs?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55001) includes a pair of two (2) shocks for the front of your vehicle.
