Rancho RS5000X 5-6″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1999-2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD Torsion
Part Number: RS55297
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in durability and ride quality for lifted applications. Utilizing a cross-tuned twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with 5-6 inches of rear lift, ensuring the piston remains within its optimal operating zone. The gas-pressurized construction minimizes fluid aeration, providing consistent damping and smooth street comfort for your heavy-duty truck or SUV.
Features
- Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping response to ensure reduced foaming and shock fade during spirited driving.
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure maximum tire contact and ride stability.
- Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
- Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.
