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

Part Number: RS55244

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for lifted applications. Engineered with a progressive engagement valving system, these twin-tube shocks excel at absorbing harsh road impacts while maintaining firm control during off-road maneuvers. This specific pair is configured for 4-inch front lift heights, ensuring your Chevy or GMC maintains proper suspension travel and ride quality after a lift kit installation.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive valving system provides a custom-tuned ride for lifted trucks to ensure consistent performance across varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch larger body diameter increases fluid capacity to provide cooler operation and improved durability during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging minimizes air-to-oil mixture (aeration) to ensure fade-free damping and immediate response.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to accommodate a truck that has already been equipped with a 4-inch lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning properly.

Do these come with everything needed for installation?
Yes, this pair includes the necessary bushings and mounting hardware required to replace your front OE-style shocks.
