Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1992-1998 GMC Suburban 2500 4WD

Part Number: RS55227

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your GMC Suburban 2500. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design and Progressive Engagement Valving, these shocks effectively manage the heavy unsprung weight of the Suburban’s rear axle. This configuration is specifically tuned to provide smooth street comfort while maintaining the ruggedness required for off-road transitions and towing applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual ramp-up in damping force to ensure controlled handling across varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Nitrogen gas charge reduces aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during heavy-duty cycling.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during long-distance hauling.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance to ensure a long seal life in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Suburban?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are extended-length shocks designed to work on vehicles already equipped with a 2.5-inch to 4-inch suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the included dust boots?
The protective boots shield the nitro-carburized piston rod from road debris, salt, and mud, which prevents premature seal failure.

Can these be used for heavy towing?
Yes, the RS5000X twin-tube design and increased oil capacity are ideal for managing the heat generated when towing or hauling heavy loads with a 3/4 ton SUV.
