Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to be used on vehicles already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The high-pressure nitrogen gas charge reduces the “foaming” of the shock oil, which prevents the shock from feeling “mushy” during rapid cycling on rough roads.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55001_n24) includes a pair of two (2) shocks for the front of your vehicle.
