Rancho RS5000X 0″ Lift Shocks for 2002-2009 Chevy Trailblazer with Rear Coil Springs

Part Number: RS55817

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Chevy Trailblazer or Oldsmobile Bravada. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with a larger 2.25-inch body, these shocks provide increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during extended use. Designed specifically for vehicles at stock ride height, this set focuses on smoothing out road harshness while providing the rugged dent resistance required for light off-road or utility applications.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive engagement curve to ensure a smooth street ride and consistent control over uneven terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch shock body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure fade-free performance and superior heat dissipation.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides exceptional scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot Included: High-quality polyvinyl bellows provide a physical shield for the shock rod to ensure debris does not damage the internal seals.
