Part Number: RS55112

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the standard for twin-tube performance, offering a versatile solution for the 1969-1982 GMC Jimmy 2WD. Engineered with a unique cross-tuned valve system, these shocks provide a smooth street ride while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use. Configured for a 1.5-inch rear lift, they ensure consistent damping and improved stability for classic truck applications.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized progressive engagement valve system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure optimal comfort and control across varying terrains.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during heavy-duty cycling.
• 10.41-inch Stroke: An extended travel design provides increased suspension articulation to ensure the wheels stay planted on uneven surfaces.
• Protective Boot: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC Jimmy?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have a 1.5-inch rear lift installed.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55112_n558) includes 2 shocks for the rear of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the gas charging in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which ensures the shock maintains its damping force even during frequent cycling.
