Rancho RS5000X 1-2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2000-2006 Chevy Suburban 1500

Part Number: RS55371

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your GM SUV. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with 1 to 2.5 inches of front lift. By incorporating Rancho’s Cross-Tuned technology, they effectively manage the increased unsprung weight of larger wheel and tire combinations, ensuring a smooth street feel without sacrificing off-road control.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure consistent damping control across varied terrain.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: The 150psi nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.
• Sintered Iron Piston: A 35mm sintered iron piston provides structural rigidity and increased surface area to ensure precise fluid displacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to be used with a vehicle that already has 1″ to 2.5″ of front lift installed.

What is the benefit of the gas charging in the RS5000X?
The 150psi nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which maintains consistent damping performance even as the shock heats up.

Do these fit models with the Z55 Autoride suspension?
No, these are designed for standard suspension configurations and are not compatible with Electronic (Z55) or Nivomat (ZW7) self-leveling systems.
