Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Lift Shocks for 1982-2003 GMC S-15 2WD

Part Number: RS55222

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series defines the standard for durable, all-around performance for the GMC S-15 and Isuzu Hombre. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design and gas-pressurization, these shocks provide a significant upgrade over factory units by improving dampening consistency on and off-road. Engineered to accommodate 0-2 inches of lift, they offer the perfect balance of rugged durability and smooth street comfort for classic compact trucks.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother ride over small imperfections to ensure maximum driver comfort during daily commuting.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge minimizes aeration and shock fade provides consistent damping force to ensure predictable handling under heavy loads.
• Enlarged 2.25-inch Body: An increased fluid capacity design provides better heat dissipation to ensure the shock maintains performance during extended use.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot protects the polished piston rod from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity and corrosion resistance.
