Rancho RS5000X 0.5-4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1981-1991 Chevy Suburban 4WD

Part Number: RS55112

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features a cross-tuned twin-tube design engineered to provide a smooth, controlled ride for your Chevy Suburban. By utilizing a unique valving system, these shocks provide enhanced durability and dent resistance compared to monotube alternatives, making them ideal for daily driving and light trail use. Configured for 0.5 to 4 inches of rear lift, they ensure your classic 4WD maintains optimal handling characteristics even with increased ride height.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized progressive damping system provides increased control at high speeds while maintaining comfort at low speeds to ensure a balanced ride on any terrain.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube body provides consistent damping performance and resistance to internal cavitation to ensure reliable shock operation under load.
• 10.41-inch Stroke: The extended travel length provides the necessary articulation for lifted applications to ensure the tires maintain contact with the ground during off-road maneuvers.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and moisture to ensure the longevity of the piston rod and seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55112) includes a pair of two (2) rear shocks for your vehicle.

Will these shocks lift my Chevy Suburban?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured and valved to work on vehicles that already have 0.5″ to 4″ of rear lift installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning properly.
