Rancho RS5000X 4″ Front Lift Shocks for 2007-2013 Chevy Avalanche 1500

Part Number: RS55786

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for lifted applications. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with Progressive Engagement Valving, these shocks effectively manage the increased unsprung weight of larger wheel and tire combinations. This specific configuration is optimized for vehicles with a 4-inch lift, ensuring the piston remains within its ideal operating zone for maximum comfort and dent-resistant reliability during off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides a smooth transition between low-speed and high-speed damping to ensure consistent control across varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charging: Pressurized gas displacement minimizes aeration and shock fade to ensure predictable performance under heavy cycling.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and protection against corrosion 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 with the correct lengths to accommodate a vehicle that has already been lifted 4 inches using a subframe or spacer kit.

Do these work with Magnetic Ride Control?
No, these shocks are designed for standard suspension models and are not compatible with Electronic Suspension (Z55) or Magnetic Ride Control (Z95) systems.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design used in the RS5000X offers an outer reserve tube that protects the inner working cylinder from rock chips or dents, making it highly durable for off-road environments.
