Rancho RS5000X 4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1988-1999 GMC C1500 2WD

Part Number: RS55190

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to enhance the handling and performance of your GMC C1500. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 4-inch rear lift, these shocks feature a large 2.25-inch reserve tube to increase oil capacity and maintain cooler operating temperatures. The twin-tube gas pressurized design provides a smooth, comfortable street ride while offering the durability required for light off-road use and hauling.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a gradual transition of damping force to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrain.
• Large 2.25-inch Reserve Tube: Increased fluid capacity provides better heat dissipation to ensure consistent performance during heavy-duty cycles.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides increased structural integrity and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life.
• Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and damping control.
