Rancho RS5000X 1-2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2002-2006 Chevy Avalanche 2500

Part Number: RS55370

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your heavy-duty vehicle. Utilizing a specialized gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks are configured for 1-2.5 inches of front lift, effectively managing the increased unsprung weight of larger wheel and tire combinations. This setup delivers a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the ruggedness required for off-road environments and work applications.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure consistent damping during rapid transitions.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The large 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced fade during heavy use.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the polished piston rod from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have 1 to 2.5 inches of front lift height to ensure the piston operates within the correct range.

Can I use these with my factory shock spacers?
No, these shocks are not compatible with aftermarket shock spacers or relocation brackets as per the manufacturer’s fitment requirements.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas-pressurized design?
The gas pressurization helps minimize the aeration of the shock fluid, which prevents the “spongy” feel often found in standard shocks during intense driving.
