Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1988-1999 GMC K1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55150

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the twin-tube shock absorber by utilizing a patented Progressive Engagement Valving system. Specifically engineered for the GMC K1500 at stock height, these shocks feature a 2.25-inch diameter body that increases fluid capacity for cooler operation during demanding tasks. This design provides a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the durability needed for off-road excursions and heavy-duty work.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of damping force to ensure consistent ride quality across varying terrain.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch outer diameter provides increased oil capacity to ensure maximum heat dissipation and fade resistance.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas integration provides an immediate response to road inputs to ensure reduced aeration and foaming.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against debris to ensure the longevity of the polished chrome piston rod.
