Rancho RS5000X 4.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado 1500

Part Number: RS55297

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted applications. Engineered for the 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado 1500, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that balances on-road comfort with off-road durability. The twin-tube gas pressurized design is specifically configured for vehicles with a 4.5-inch rear lift, ensuring the piston remains in its optimal travel zone to prevent topping out during suspension articulation.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned feel to ensure smooth transitions between varied terrain types.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping during heavy use.
• Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-performance pivot points provide reduced NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) to ensure a quiet and controlled cabin environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks provide a 4.5-inch lift for my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically sized and valved to be installed on a vehicle that has already been equipped with a 4.5-inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design offers excellent durability; if the outer tube is dented by debris, the inner cylinder remains functional, allowing you to complete your trip without shock failure.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55297_n44) includes two rear shocks to complete the installation for both sides of the rear axle.
