Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide exceptional durability and ride quality for your GMC C1500. Engineered specifically for vehicles with a 1.5-inch rear lift, these gas-pressurized shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes foaming and aeration. The result is a consistent, smooth street performance and reliable damping during light-duty hauling or off-road excursions.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve base system provides progressive damping to ensure smooth ride comfort across various terrains.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically length-tuned and configured for vehicles already equipped with a 1.5-inch rear lift.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working cylinder remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t left stranded.

This SKU includes 2 shocks, providing a complete solution for the rear axle of your vehicle.
