Rancho RS5000X 4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1988-2000 Chevy K3500 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted applications. Engineered for the 1988-2000 Chevy K3500 and GMC Yukon, these shocks feature a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This gas-pressurized construction ensures consistent performance and durability, making it an ideal choice for drivers seeking smooth street comfort and reliable off-road resilience.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping forces to ensure maximum comfort on varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance during spirited driving.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term cooling and structural integrity in harsh environments.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Band: A specialized piston seal provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure rapid response to road irregularities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have a 4-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner pressure tube remains unaffected, ensuring you can finish your trip safely.

Does this include all the hardware needed for installation?
Yes, these shocks come with the necessary mounting hardware and protective boots for a direct-replacement installation on compatible lift kits.
