Part Number: RS55166 / RS55190

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your GMC C1500. Engineered for durability and smooth street comfort, these shocks feature a unique valve calibration that compensates for the initial impact of road irregularities. Whether commuting or hauling, this complete set ensures a controlled ride without the harshness often found in heavy-duty aftermarket options.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide immediate response to road inputs to ensure a smoother ride quality during daily driving.
• Dynamic Rebound Spring (DRS) Technology: An internal high-strength tuned spring provides reduced body roll and prevents over-extension to ensure stability during aggressive maneuvers.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides increased tensile strength and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure consistent performance in demanding environments.
