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

Part Number: RS55268

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your lifted GMC Yukon XL 1500. Utilizing a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system, these shocks reduce initial impact harshness while maintaining firm control during aggressive driving. Designed specifically for vehicles equipped with a 4-inch lift, they offer the perfect balance of smooth street comfort and rugged off-road resilience. The twin-tube gas-pressurized design ensures consistent performance and protection against internal damage from trail debris.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure controlled handling on uneven terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A low-pressure Nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during extended use.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the oil seal to ensure protection against rocks, mud, and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my GMC Yukon XL 1500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-tuned to work with a vehicle that has already been equipped with a 4-inch suspension lift kit.

Is any modification required for installation?
These shocks are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for GMC Yukon XL 1500 models featuring a 4-inch Rancho suspension system, utilizing OE-style mounting points.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design provides an outer chamber that acts as a reservoir, making the shock more resistant to external damage (dents) without affecting the internal piston movement.
