Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Chevy or GMC van. Designed for 4WD models at stock height, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks utilize a unique valving system that balances on-road comfort with off-road durability. This configuration is engineered to reduce harshness and improve stability, making it the ideal solution for drivers seeking a reliable, heavy-duty replacement for aging OE components.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure consistent control across varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a quicker response time to ensure minimized aeration and foaming.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod diameter provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term structural integrity.
