Rancho RS5000X 1-2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2000-2013 Chevy Suburban 2500

Part Number: RS55370

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative Cross-Tuned technology to deliver a significant upgrade over factory damping for your heavy-duty SUV. Designed specifically for vehicles with 1 to 2.5 inches of front lift, these twin-tube shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes foaming and aeration. This ensures a consistent, smooth street ride while maintaining the rugged durability required for off-road excursions and towing applications.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides custom-tuned damping to ensure controlled handling during both low-speed technical maneuvers and high-speed highway travel.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent performance under heavy loads.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: An included black polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and moisture to ensure the longevity of the oil seal and piston rod.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Suburban 2500 or Hummer H2?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to work with vehicles that have already been leveled or lifted by 1-2.5 inches via torsion key adjustments or other suspension modifications.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard twin-tube shock?
The RS5000X features Rancho’s Cross-Tuned technology, which uses a specific valving disk stack to provide better initial impact absorption and reduced harshness compared to generic replacement shocks.

Can I install these if I have shock relocation brackets?
No, these shocks are designed to bolt into the factory mounting locations. Using them with relocation brackets or spacers may result in bottoming out or over-extending the shock, which can cause internal damage.
