Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1982 GMC Jimmy 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressure design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your 2WD GMC Jimmy. Engineered for vehicles with a 1.5-inch front lift, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes foam and aeration to ensure consistent performance. The durable twin-tube construction is specifically designed to resist stone bruising and external damage, providing smooth street comfort and reliable off-road durability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth ride during normal driving to ensure comfort on paved surfaces.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 1.5-inch diameter pressure tube provides extra oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod provides a hardened surface to ensure long-term seal integrity and corrosion resistance.
• Self-Lubricating Seal: The high-temperature seal design provides reduced friction and wear to ensure a consistent service life in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly with a vehicle that has already been equipped with 1.5 inches of front lift height.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder (the pressure tube) remains functional, allowing you to continue your journey.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, based on the SKU configuration, this product includes two (2) front shocks for a complete axle installation.
