Product Details

This is the Rancho RS5000X front shock absorber, part number RS55152. It's built to fit a range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs from the late 80s through the late 90s, including popular models like the Chevrolet K1500 and GMC Yukon. This shock absorber is designed to improve your vehicle's handling and control, whether you're on the pavement or hitting the trail.

Rancho uses a unique valving system and a large, 35mm sintered iron piston to help manage fluid transfer and absorb impacts effectively. The 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod is tough, resisting scuffs and corrosion, while double-welded loops at stress points add extra durability. Inside, a large twin-tube body is filled with all-weather fluid that stays consistent from -40 to 248°F, helping to reduce fade and keep performance steady. A low-friction seal keeps the gas and oil where they belong, aiding in quicker rebound and smoother compression.

You'll notice a more controlled ride thanks to the custom-tuned Compression Control Valve, which helps absorb impacts without causing disc flutter. The polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings work to soak up harshness, while the fluon-banded piston makes the shock more responsive to changing road conditions. This shock comes with Rancho’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, so you can install it with confidence.
