Rancho RS5000X 4″ Front Lift Shocks for 2000-2006 GMC Yukon XL 1500

Part Number: RS55268

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressure design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for lifted GMC Yukon XL 1500 models. Specifically configured for vehicles with 4-inch front lift kits, these shocks solve the common issue of harsh rebound and poor body control associated with increased ride heights. By integrating Rancho’s Progressive Engagement Valving, the RS5000X delivers a smooth, compliant street ride while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use and towing.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition from low to high-speed damping to ensure maximum control during sudden maneuvers.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under high-duty cycles.
• Twin-Tube Body: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch outer tube provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the oil seal remains free of debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC Yukon XL 1500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate a vehicle that already has a 4-inch lift kit installed.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU includes 2 shocks, which is enough to cover the front axle of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for street and work use. The outer tube acts as a shield, so if the shock body is dented by road debris, the inner cylinder (where the piston moves) remains unaffected, ensuring the shock continues to function.
