Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks lift my GMC K3500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for vehicles already equipped with a 2.5″ to 4″ suspension lift.
What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner working cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55001_n650) includes two front shocks to complete the front axle of your vehicle.
