Part Number: RS55120
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to enhance the handling and ride quality of your classic 2WD Chevy Suburban. Engineered for durability, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and shock fade during consistent use. Configured for a 1.5-inch front lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping to accommodate leveled stances while maintaining smooth street comfort.
Features
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide improved control over harsh terrain to ensure a smoother ride on highway surfaces.
- Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: Pressurized gas charge provides a quicker response time and prevents oil foaming to ensure consistent damping performance.
- 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: Heavy-duty piston rod provides increased structural rigidity and resists scuffing to ensure long-term seal integrity.
- Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and moisture to ensure the longevity of the shock rod and oil seal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically configured to accommodate a vehicle that already has a 1.5-inch lift installed.
Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55120_n189) includes 2 front shocks.
What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by road debris, the inner piston tube remains protected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
