Rancho RS5000X 4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1992-1999 GMC Suburban 1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55227

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to enhance the ride quality of your lifted GMC Suburban 1500. Designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a 4-inch rear lift, these shocks utilize a large 2.25-inch body to increase fluid capacity and dissipate heat during heavy-duty use. The twin-tube gas pressurized design ensures rugged durability and dent resistance, making it an ideal solution for drivers seeking a balance between highway comfort and off-road capability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a gradual transition of damping force to ensure smooth ride quality over varied terrain.
• Large 2.25-inch Shock Body: An increased outer diameter provides higher oil capacity to reduce internal temperatures and ensure consistent performance during long-distance towing or hauling.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure gas charge minimizes aeration and foaming to provide immediate response and prevent shock fade.
• Protective Boot Included: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s twin-tube design is engineered with a focus on internal fluid volume, allowing the shock to remain cooler and more effective under the heavier curb weight of the Suburban/Yukon platform.
• Performance Benefit: Drivers will experience a reduction in “body roll” and harsh bottoming-out, resulting in a more controlled, planted feel during both daily commuting and off-road excursions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC Suburban by 4 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a vehicle that has already been equipped with a 4-inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning properly.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55227) includes two rear shocks to complete the rear axle installation.
