Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1967-1972 GMC C2500 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series defines the standard for durable, everyday performance for your classic GMC C2500. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design and gas-pressurized valving, these shocks are engineered to provide a smooth, controlled ride that absorbs road harshness while maintaining chassis stability. Designed specifically for stock height applications, they offer a significant upgrade over aged factory dampers by improving tire-to-road contact and reducing body roll.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual increase in damping force to ensure smooth transitions between varying road surfaces.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides consistent performance by minimizing aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free operation.
• Twin-Tube Construction: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in demanding environments.
• Protective Boot: Included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the seal remains free from debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks are configured for 0-inches of lift and are designed to replace factory-length dampers. They do not provide any lift height on their own.

Do these come with everything needed for installation?
Yes, this pair of shocks includes all necessary bushings, washers, and nuts required to bolt directly into the factory mounting locations.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features a larger body and improved gas-pressurized valving, which offers better heat dissipation and a more refined ride quality compared to the original design.
