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

Part Number: RS55001 / RS55227

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Chevy K2500 or GMC Yukon. Utilizing advanced Cross-Tune Technology, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks deliver a unique valving system that balances on-road comfort with off-road control. This specific configuration is designed for vehicles equipped with 2.5 to 4 inches of suspension lift, ensuring the piston operates within the optimal range to prevent bottoming out or over-extension during articulation.

Features

• Cross-Tune Technology: A unique base valve system provides a progressive engagement to ensure smooth damping over varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under heavy work cycles.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against rock chips and corrosion.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion bellows provide a shield for the oil seal and shock rod to ensure debris does not compromise the internal valving.
