Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1986 GMC K2500 4WD

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your GMC K2500. Specifically engineered for vehicles with 0-2 inches of front lift, these shocks utilize a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system to reduce harshness during initial impacts. This setup offers the perfect balance of rugged durability for off-road excursions and smooth, controlled comfort for daily street driving.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal valving provides a smoother transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent ride quality on varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The large 2.25-inch body holds increased fluid capacity to provide cooler operation and reduced fade during heavy-use cycles.
• Nitrogen Gas Charge: High-pressure gas displacement minimizes oil foaming and aeration to ensure immediate damping response.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC K2500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that have already been modified with 0-2 inches of front lift height.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features a larger body and a patented valving system that engages more progressively, resulting in a much smoother ride over small bumps compared to the original design.

Do I need to purchase boots separately?
No, these Rancho RS5000X shocks include red polyvinyl boots to protect the shock rods from dirt and debris.
