Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines entry-level performance for your Chevy V10 or GMC Suburban. Featuring a unique cross-tuned valve system, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide a significant upgrade over factory units by balancing off-road durability with smooth street comfort. Designed specifically for vehicles with 0-2 inches of front lift, they ensure your classic square-body maintains optimal tire-to-road contact and stability across varied terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide improved handling and control to ensure a smoother ride on both paved roads and trails.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure Nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly on vehicles already equipped with 0-2 inches of front lift height.

Can I use these if I have the factory Quad Shock option?
No, these are designed for standard front suspension configurations and exclude models equipped with the O.E. Quad Suspension setup.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design allows for a larger oil reservoir and provides an extra layer of protection for the internal working cylinder, making it ideal for daily driving and moderate off-roading.
