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

Part Number: RS55244

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to enhance the handling and ride quality of your lifted GMC K1500. Designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a 4-inch lift, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks provide a significant reduction in wheel hop and body roll. The robust 2.25-inch body diameter increases fluid capacity, ensuring consistent damping and durability during both daily commuting and off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure maximum comfort on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under heavy cycling.
• 2.25-inch Reserve Tube: An oversized twin-tube body provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty hardened finish provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC K1500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have a 4-inch suspension lift installed.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU includes 2 front shocks to cover both the driver and passenger sides of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design offers excellent durability; if the outer body is dented by debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.
