Rancho RS5000X 0″ Lift Shocks for 1988-2000 GMC K3500 4WD

Part Number: RS55150

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory ride quality for your GMC K3500. Engineered with a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks minimize initial impact harshness while maintaining firm control during heavy handling. This set is specifically configured for vehicles at stock ride height, ensuring a perfect fit and restored damping performance for both daily commuting and work-site demands.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of damping force to ensure smooth street comfort and responsive handling.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during sustained cycling.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: Heavy-duty piston rod construction provides increased structural rigidity and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Piston Seal: Low-friction PTFE-based sealing provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure maximum durability under extreme temperatures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC K3500?
No, these shocks are designed to work with vehicles at 0″ of lift (stock height). They do not provide lift but are configured to optimize the ride quality at the factory height.

Does this kit include all four shocks for my truck?
Yes, this SKU includes a full set of four shocks (two front and two rear) specifically matched for the 1988-2000 GMC K3500 4WD.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design on this model?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for trucks; the outer tube acts as a shield for the inner working tube, ensuring that even if the body is dented by road debris, the shock will continue to function properly.
