Rancho RS5000X 1-2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2006-2010 Hummer H3

Part Number: RS55376

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for the Hummer H3. Designed for vehicles with a 1-2.5″ front lift, these gas-pressurized shocks utilize a cross-tuned twin-tube design to manage the heavy unsprung weight of larger tire packages. This setup effectively reduces harshness on the street while maintaining the ruggedness required for off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low-speed damping and high-impact control to ensure driver comfort across varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade during spirited driving.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter outer shell provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure the internal piston remains functional even in harsh environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm piston rod provides superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term sealing performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Hummer H3?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to work with vehicles already equipped with 1″ to 2.5″ of front lift, such as a torsion bar key leveling kit.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design on this model?
The twin-tube design is ideal for the H3 because it provides a plush ride on the highway and protects the internal valving from damage caused by rocks or debris hitting the shock body.

Can I use these with my factory shock spacers?
No, these shocks are not for use with aftermarket shock spacers or relocation brackets as it may cause the shock to bottom out prematurely.
