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

Part Number: RS55152

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your GMC K1500. Engineered specifically for vehicles with 1 to 2.5 inches of lift, these shocks solve the harshness often associated with lifted suspensions by utilizing a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system. This configuration ensures smooth street comfort while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use and work applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides a gradual transition of fluid to ensure a smooth ride over small road imperfections.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty hardened rod construction provides superior resistance to scuffing and corrosion to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• All-Weather Fluid: Specialized synthetic oil provides consistent viscosity in extreme temperatures to ensure predictable handling from -40 to 248 degrees Fahrenheit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically valved and length-adjusted to be used on vehicles already equipped with a 1″ to 2.5″ lift kit.

Are these shocks sold as a complete set?
Yes, this specific SKU includes a full set of four shocks (front and rear) to completely refresh your vehicle’s suspension.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features a larger body and improved valving that reduces aeration (foaming) more effectively than the original design, providing better performance under stress.
