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

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to deliver a smooth, controlled ride for the GMC K2500. Designed specifically for vehicles equipped with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks excel at absorbing harsh impacts while maintaining highway stability. This configuration is engineered to handle the increased unsprung weight of larger wheel and tire combinations common on lifted 4WD applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure consistent comfort on uneven terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a reduced aeration environment to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot protects the piston rod from road debris and contaminants to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks provide my GMC K2500 with a 4-inch lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that already have a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner working tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU includes 2 shocks, providing a complete solution for your front axle.
