Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1987 GMC V2500 4WD
Part Number: RS55112
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series delivers a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressure design engineered for the 1987 GMC V2500 4WD. Developed to handle both daily commuting and off-road excursions, these shocks utilize a cross-tuned valve system to provide consistent dampening under varying load conditions. By integrating a larger shock body, this unit offers increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures and reliable performance during extended use.
Features
- Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth ride on-road while maintaining control during off-road articulation.
- Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging provides a consistent response by reducing aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance in demanding environments.
- Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure longevity against debris and trail obstacles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch rear lift kit to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.
What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design provides an outer reserve tube that protects the inner pressure tube from dents, ensuring the shock remains functional even if the outer body is damaged on the trail.
Is this a pair or a single shock?
Based on the SKU 2xRS55112, this product listing includes a pair (2) of rear shocks.
