Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1988-2000 Chevy K2500 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted GMC and Chevy trucks. Engineered to handle the increased leverage of a 2.5 to 4-inch lift, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes harshness over small bumps while maintaining control during heavy compression. This makes them an ideal solution for K2500 owners who require a balance of daily driving comfort and off-road durability.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve base provides high-speed damping control to ensure a smooth ride on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging provides consistent performance by reducing aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free operation.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and cooling to ensure long-term durability under heavy loads.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A hardened rod finish provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure seal longevity in harsh environments.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s application-specific tuning accounts for the specific weight and geometry of the K-Series chassis, preventing the “vague” feel often associated with generic shocks.
• Performance Benefit: The twin-tube design provides a secondary layer of protection; even if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the internal piston remains functional.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that have already been modified with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features a larger body and updated “Cross-Tune” valving, which provides a more refined transition between soft and firm damping compared to the original series.

Are the dust boots included?
Yes, these shocks include Rancho’s signature red protective boots to keep debris away from the piston rod and seals.
