Part Number: RS55265

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for the GMC Yukon XL 1500 equipped with Nivomat suspension. Utilizing a patented progressive engagement valving system, these shocks minimize harshness during initial impacts while maintaining firm control during aggressive handling. This twin-tube gas-pressurized design is specifically tuned to provide smooth street comfort and consistent performance on vehicles with ZW7 self-leveling suspension packages.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides early flow of fluid to reduce harshness to ensure a smoother ride over small road imperfections.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150psi nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping response to ensure reduced aeration and foaming.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Band: A specialized piston seal provides a tighter seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure long-term durability and consistent valving.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure protection against rocks, dirt, and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC Yukon?
No, these shocks are configured for 0 inches of lift and are designed to replace the factory-length front shocks at stock height.

How do I know if I have the ZW7 Nivomat suspension?
You can check your vehicle’s RPO code sticker (usually located in the glove box). If you see the code “ZW7,” your vehicle is equipped with the Premium Smooth Ride/Nivomat suspension.

Is the protective boot required for installation?
While the shock will function without it, the boot is highly recommended as it protects the piston rod from pitting and seal damage caused by road debris.
