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

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your lifted Chevy or GMC. Utilizing a unique CrossTune Technology, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks deliver a smooth, controlled ride on the street while maintaining the ruggedness needed for off-road environments. Specifically configured for vehicles with 2.5-4 inches of front lift, they eliminate the harshness often associated with lifted suspension geometry by optimizing valving for larger tire masses.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique valve base tuning system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a consistent ride across varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term seal life.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides improved vibration dampening to ensure a quiet and comfortable cabin experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks provide my truck with a lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have a 2.5-inch to 4-inch lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas-pressurized design?
The gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which prevents the shock from losing its damping effectiveness during heavy use.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55001_n67) includes two front shocks for a complete axle installation.
