Rancho RS5000X 1-2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1999-2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD Torsion

Part Number: RS55371

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to deliver enhanced control and durability for both on-road and off-road environments. Engineered specifically for vehicles with 1-2.5 inches of front lift, these shocks provide the increased travel needed to maintain stability after leveling. The gas-pressurized construction helps minimize aeration and foaming, ensuring consistent damping performance during daily driving or light trail use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide smoother transitions over varied terrain to ensure driver comfort and vehicle control.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced shock fade and aeration.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

How do these handle off-road use?
The RS5000X features a rugged twin-tube design that is highly resistant to external damage (like rock dents) while maintaining performance through progressive valving.

Are these compatible with AutoRide suspension?
No, these shocks are designed to work with standard suspension setups and exclude models equipped with Electronic Suspension (Z55) or Nivomat (ZW7) systems.
