Product Details

This Rancho RS5000X shock absorber features a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod, a tough material that helps resist scuffs and corrosion. It's built to handle a wide range of conditions, fitting many Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs from the late 80s through the early 2000s, including popular models like the K1500, Blazer, and Yukon. This shock is designed to give you a more controlled ride, whether you're on the pavement or exploring off-road.

Inside, you'll find a large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid, which helps keep the shock cooler during operation and allows it to perform reliably in temperatures from -40 to 248°F. The application-specific piston and unique valving system work together to manage fluid transfer, absorbing impacts effectively without causing flutter and maintaining good control over the shock's motion. This means you get a smoother ride, with polyurethane rebound bumpers and rubber bushings helping to soak up harshness, while the fluon-banded piston makes it more responsive to changing road surfaces.

The nitrogen gas pressurization to 150 PSI is key to reducing the chance of air mixing with the oil, which helps prevent the damping performance from fading or foaming up during heavy use. Rancho backs this shock with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, giving you peace of mind with your purchase.
