Rancho RS5000X 0″ Lift Shocks for 2002-2006 Chevy Avalanche 1500

Part Number: RS55265 / RS55262

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Chevy or GMC truck. Engineered for 0″ lift heights, these shocks utilize a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system to maintain smooth street comfort while increasing control during off-road excursions. This complete set replaces worn factory units to restore handling precision and eliminate the “floaty” ride common in high-mileage SUVs.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides early flow at low speeds to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride on paved surfaces.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Large 54mm Body: An increased fluid capacity provides better heat dissipation to ensure consistent damping performance under heavy loads or repetitive impacts.
• Gas Pressurization: A nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure the shock maintains fade-free performance during aggressive driving.
