Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1967-1986 GMC C1500 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative Cross-Curve valving system to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your classic GMC C1500. Designed for vehicles configured with a 1.5-inch front lift, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks offer the perfect balance of on-road comfort and off-road durability. The larger 2.25-inch body diameter increases fluid capacity, ensuring these shocks remain cool and consistent during demanding driving conditions.

Features

• Cross-Curve Valving: Progressive engagement technology provides a smooth street ride while increasing firmness during high-speed impacts to ensure controlled handling.
• Nitrogen Gas Charge: 150 PSI gas pressurization provides immediate response and minimizes aeration to ensure fade-free performance.
• 2.25-inch Shock Body: Increased fluid capacity provides superior heat dissipation to ensure consistent damping under heavy loads.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm diameter rod provides exceptional scuff resistance and protection against corrosion to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Why Choose This Product?

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and lengthened to accommodate vehicles already equipped with a 1.5-inch front lift kit.

Are the dust boots included?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature protective boots to keep debris away from the piston rod and seals.

Is the valving adjustable?
The RS5000X features self-adjusting Cross-Curve valving that reacts automatically to road inputs, rather than requiring manual knob adjustments.
