Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1991 Chevy Suburban 4WD

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your classic Chevy or GMC Suburban. Utilizing a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide smooth street comfort while maintaining the ruggedness required for off-road use. Designed specifically for vehicles with 0-2 inches of front lift, they serve as a high-performance replacement for aged factory dampers, ensuring your 4WD remains stable under varying load conditions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a soft initial response that firms up under high-velocity impacts to ensure consistent control on uneven terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and maximum dent resistance.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging minimizes aeration and shock fade to ensure predictable damping performance during spirited driving.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Piston Seal: A specialized reinforced seal provides a tighter interface between the piston and pressure tube to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Suburban?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly on vehicles already equipped with 0-2 inches of front lift height.

What is the benefit of the included red boots?
The protective boots shield the shock rod from debris, salt, and rocks, which prevents seal damage and extends the life of the damper.

Can I use these if my truck has two shocks per front wheel?
No, these are not compatible with models equipped with the O.E. Quad Suspension option; they are designed for the standard single-shock configuration.
