Rancho RS5000X 1-2.5″ Lift Shocks for 1988-1999 Chevy K1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55152 / RS55190

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features a cross-tuned twin-tube design engineered to improve both on-road comfort and off-road durability for your Chevy or GMC truck. Utilizing a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide a smooth ride during normal cruising while increasing control when encountering rough terrain. Designed specifically for vehicles with 1-2.5 inches of lift, they ensure your suspension maintains proper travel and damping performance.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a soft initial response to ensure a comfortable ride on paved surfaces.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Nitrogen gas charging reduces aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance during spirited driving.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against rock chips and corrosion.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Banded Piston: A low-friction piston seal provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure rapid response to road inputs.
