Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Lift Shocks for 1987 GMC V1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your GMC V1500 4WD. Designed for vehicles with a 2.5 to 4-inch lift, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that balances off-road durability with smooth street performance. The twin-tube gas-pressurized design ensures consistent damping and impact absorption, effectively eliminating the harshness often associated with lifted suspension geometries.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A specialized base valve system provides a progressive engagement throughout the piston travel to ensure a smooth ride over varied terrain.
• Nitrogen Gas Charge: High-pressure gas displacement provides consistent performance by minimizing aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free damping during extended use.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity and scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: An included bellows-style dust boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and moisture to ensure the longevity of the polished rod and internal seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC V1500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and extended in length to function correctly on vehicles already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design provides an outer reserve tube that protects the inner working cylinder from rock chips or dents, ensuring the shock continues to function even if the outer body is damaged.

Are these shocks sold as a complete set?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55001_2xRS55112) includes a full set of four shocks to cover both the front and rear of your vehicle.
