Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1987-1991 GMC R3500 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to deliver a significant upgrade over factory dampening for your 2WD GMC R3500. Designed for daily utility and long-haul durability, these twin-tube shocks utilize a unique progressive engagement valving system to minimize harshness on rough roads. By providing a consistent, smooth street ride while maintaining enough control for heavy-duty applications, they are the ideal solution for restoring original ride height performance.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A specialized progressive valving system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure smooth comfort on the highway and stability on uneven terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent performance under load.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging provides a faster response time and minimizes aeration to ensure fade-free damping during extended driving.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Band: A specialized piston seal provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure maximum durability and a longer service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks are configured for 0-inches of lift and are designed to replace factory-length units without changing the ride height.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design on this model?
The twin-tube construction offers excellent durability; if the outer tube is dented by road debris, the inner pressure tube remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t left stranded.

Are boots included with the RS55120?
Yes, these shocks include protective red boots to shield the piston rod from particulates and road grime.
