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

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the handling and ride quality of your GMC Jimmy. Designed for vehicles with a 1.5-inch lift, these twin-tube shocks feature a larger 2.25-inch body diameter to increase fluid capacity and ensure cooler operation during demanding use. The gas-pressurized design minimizes aeration and foaming, providing a consistent, smooth street performance while maintaining the durability required for light off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth initial transition to ensure maximum comfort during daily driving.
• 2.25-inch Twin-Tube Body: An increased fluid capacity reservoir provides better heat dissipation to ensure consistent damping performance under load.
• Nitrogen Gas Charging: Pressurized gas displacement provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure immediate response and control.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-corrected to be compatible with vehicles already equipped with a 1.5-inch lift kit.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design over a monotube?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; the outer tube can take a dent from a rock or debris without affecting the movement of the inner piston, making it ideal for daily drivers and work trucks.

Are the shock boots included?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from dirt, moisture, and road grime.
