Rancho RS5000X 5-6″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1999-2007 GMC Sierra 1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55297

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to enhance the handling and ride quality of your lifted truck. Designed for vehicles with 5-6 inches of rear lift, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks provide exceptional durability and dent resistance for off-road environments. This setup ensures a smooth street ride while maintaining the necessary damping control for larger tire assemblies and increased ride heights.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive damping curve to ensure consistent ride quality across varying terrain types.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge reduces aeration and shock fade to ensure predictable performance during spirited driving.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and physical protection to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is dented.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot shields the shock rod and oil seal from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically lengthened and valved to accommodate vehicles already equipped with 5-6 inches of rear lift.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which prevents the shock from losing its damping effectiveness during heavy use.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55297_n575) includes two rear shocks to complete an axle set.
