Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your GM truck. Featuring an innovative Cross-Curve valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the ruggedness required for light off-road use. Designed specifically for vehicles with ZW7 Nivomat suspension, they offer a reliable solution for restoring factory handling and stability.

Features

• Cross-Curve Valving: A progressive multi-stage engagement provides custom-tuned damping to ensure consistent control during varied driving conditions.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charge minimizes aeration and shock fade to ensure predictable performance under heavy cycling.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
