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

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to provide a smooth, controlled ride for your GMC K3500. Designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a 4-inch lift, these shocks feature a large 2.25-inch body diameter to increase oil capacity and reduce internal heat. This twin-tube gas-pressurized design offers exceptional durability and dent resistance, making it an ideal solution for daily driving and light off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a seamless transition between soft and firm damping to ensure consistent ride quality over varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• 2.25-inch Shock Body: An oversized fluid reservoir provides increased heat dissipation to ensure stable damping force in demanding environments.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.
