Rancho RS5000X 2″ Rear Lift Shocks for 2014-2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Old Body

Part Number: RS55198

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to deliver enhanced ride quality for lifted GMC Sierra 1500 applications. Engineered specifically for vehicles with 2 inches of rear lift, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and foaming. This configuration provides consistent damping performance and durability, ensuring a smooth street ride and reliable off-road control for the “Old Body” style Sierra.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression and rebound circuit provides a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure maximum comfort during daily driving.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent response and prevents oil foaming to ensure fade-free performance on rough terrain.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch twin-tube reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures during heavy cycles.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against debris to ensure the longevity of the polished chrome piston rod.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC Sierra?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened to accommodate a vehicle that has already been equipped with 2 inches of rear lift components.

Are these compatible with the MagneRide or Electronic Ride Control?
No, these shocks are designed for standard suspension models and explicitly exclude vehicles equipped with ZX3 Electronic Ride Control.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; the outer tube can take a dent from a rock or debris without affecting the inner cylinder or the movement of the piston.
