Part Number: RS55001
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your 4WD Chevy Suburban. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with 0.5 to 4 inches of front lift. The RS5000X effectively manages the increased unsprung weight of larger wheel and tire combinations, ensuring a smooth street ride and reliable off-road performance.
Features
- Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure consistent comfort across varying terrain.
- Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
- Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
- Protective Boot: An included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the oil seal remains free of debris.
