Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Lift Shocks for 1987 GMC V2500 4WD
Part Number: RS55001
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a sophisticated Cross-Tuned twin-tube design to enhance both off-road durability and on-road comfort for your GMC V2500. By utilizing a unique valving system, these shocks provide a smooth street ride while maintaining the ruggedness required for 4WD applications. Configured specifically for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of lift, they ensure your suspension maintains proper travel and control under varying load conditions.
Features
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a soft initial response that firms up under load to ensure consistent handling on uneven terrain.
- Dynamic Rebound Disc: A high-flow velocity-sensitive disc provides controlled energy absorption to ensure maximum stability during aggressive maneuvers.
- Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and surface hardness to ensure long-term seal integrity.
- Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen charging provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure fade-free performance during extended use.
