Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1988-1999 GMC C1500 2WD

Part Number: RS55166

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory dampening for your GMC C1500. Designed as a high-performance twin-tube gas pressurized shock, it balances daily driving comfort with the rugged durability needed for light off-road use. By utilizing a progressive engagement valving system, these shocks effectively reduce body roll and harsh impacts, ensuring a smooth and controlled ride at stock ride height.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure consistent control across varying terrain types.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 35mm nitro-gas charged bore provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced fade.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The hardened rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure a long service life.
