Rancho RS5000X 0-3″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1969-1972 GMC Jimmy 2WD
Part Number: RS55113
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to enhance the handling and ride quality of your GMC Jimmy or AM General FJ-9. Designed for vehicles with 0-3 inches of rear lift, these shocks utilize a twin-tube gas pressurized design to provide exceptional durability and dent resistance during off-road use. This configuration ensures a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the ruggedness required for utility and classic SUV applications.
Features
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a seamless transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent tire-to-road contact.
- Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a reduced aeration environment to ensure fade-free performance during sustained cycling.
- Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate vehicles already equipped with 0 to 3 inches of rear lift.
What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is ideal for daily drivers and classic utility vehicles because it prioritizes a plush ride and provides extra durability against impacts compared to thinner-walled monotube shocks.
Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55113_n559) includes a pair of two (2) rear shocks.
