Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1991 GMC Jimmy 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide exceptional durability and ride quality for your lifted GMC Jimmy. Engineered to handle the rigors of off-road terrain while maintaining smooth street manners, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes aeration. By providing consistent damping through a larger 2.25-inch body, they offer the dent resistance and heat dissipation required for heavy-duty 4WD applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping forces to ensure improved control during off-road articulation.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent performance during sustained cycling.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch outer diameter provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures and fade resistance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: Heavy-duty hardened construction provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many shocks are included in this package?
This SKU includes a pair (2) of front shocks specifically configured for your vehicle’s front axle.

Will these shocks lift my GMC Jimmy?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically length-tuned to work with vehicles already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design for off-roading?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder remains functional, allowing the shock to continue operating safely.
