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

Part Number: RS55244

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted GMC K2500 4WD applications. Engineered with a large 2.25-inch reserve tube, these shocks offer increased oil capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use. This specific pair is configured for vehicles equipped with a 4-inch lift, ensuring the piston remains within its optimal stroke range for both highway comfort and off-road durability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuitry provides a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent control on uneven terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charged design provides a pressurized barrier between the oil and gas to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade.
• Heavy-Duty Reserve Tube: A 2.25-inch outer body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure maximum heat dissipation during towing or trail use.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical shield for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC K2500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically designed with the correct extended and compressed lengths to work on vehicles already equipped with a 4-inch suspension lift.

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, ensuring the shock continues to function properly in rugged environments.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, based on the SKU 2xRS55244, this product listing includes two (2) front shocks.
