Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1991 Chevy Suburban 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced gas-pressurized twin-tube technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for lifted Chevy and GMC applications. Designed specifically for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, these shocks utilize a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system to manage heavy wheel and tire combinations. This setup provides a smooth, comfortable ride on the street while maintaining the rugged durability required for off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of damping force to ensure a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining control during hard impacts.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged 1.375-inch bore provides consistent damping performance and reduces aeration to ensure fade-free operation during spirited driving.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style mounts provide maximum structural integrity to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: Included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the piston rod against debris and rock chips to ensure the longevity of the oil seal.
