Rancho RS5000X 3″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1983-1993 GMC S-15 4WD

Part Number: RS55124

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to deliver a refined ride for your lifted GMC S-15. Engineered with a large 2.25-inch body, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during demanding use. This configuration is specifically tuned to accommodate 3 inches of rear lift, ensuring your vehicle maintains optimal suspension travel and stability on and off the road.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent comfort across varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: 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 outer housing provides increased oil capacity to ensure maximum heat dissipation during heavy-duty cycles.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Band: A specialized piston seal provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure long-term durability and responsiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct lengths to work on vehicles already equipped with a 3-inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas pressure?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which prevents the shock from losing damping force during rapid suspension cycling.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55124_n667) includes two rear shocks for a complete axle installation.
