Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the standard for twin-tube performance, offering a significant upgrade for your Chevy Astro or GMC Safari. Engineered with a unique cross-tuned valve system, these shocks provide a precise balance of on-road comfort and off-road durability. This design effectively minimizes harshness and vibration, ensuring a smooth ride for daily commuting or light trail use while maintaining consistent control in varying conditions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition during high-velocity impacts to ensure maximum control and reduced body roll.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas integration provides resistance to aeration and foaming to ensure stable damping performance during extended use.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty, treated piston rod provides superior corrosion resistance and strength to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks are configured for 0-inches of lift and do not provide additional height; they are designed to replace factory shocks at the stock ride height.

What is the benefit of the included dust boots?
The protective boots shield the piston rod and oil seal from dirt, debris, and road salt, which significantly extends the service life of the shock.

Can these be used on 2WD models?
These specific units are engineered for the 4WD versions of the Chevy Astro and GMC Yukon as specified in the fitment data.
