Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1991 GMC Suburban 1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your lifted GMC Suburban. Engineered with a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks minimize harshness during initial impacts while maintaining firm control during aggressive maneuvers. Designed specifically for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, they offer the perfect balance of off-road durability and smooth street comfort.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized progressive rebound and compression disc set provides custom-tuned damping to ensure superior handling on both pavement and trails.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides a reduced air-to-oil mixture to ensure consistent performance by preventing aeration and foaming.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod provides increased structural integrity and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the oil seal to ensure debris does not cause premature shock failure.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s patented Progressive Engagement Valving (PEV) allows the shock to transition from soft to firm instantly based on the velocity of the impact.
