Rancho RS5000X 0″ Lift Shocks for 1967-1972 GMC C3500 2WD Rear Leaf Springs

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your GMC C3500. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically tuned to mitigate the harshness often associated with heavy-duty rear leaf spring configurations. By incorporating a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system, the RS5000X delivers smooth street comfort while maintaining the ruggedness required for work-truck applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a gradual transition during impacts to ensure a smoother ride over varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under heavy loads.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against pitting and corrosion.
• Self-Lubricating Seal: The specialized wiper seal provides a clean rod surface to ensure the internal oil stays contained and contaminants are excluded.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks are designed to work with your vehicle’s factory ride height and do not provide any lift.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger 2.25-inch body and progressive valving, which handles heat and road vibrations much better than standard replacement shocks.

Are the shock boots included?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from debris.
