Rancho Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:RS55256
Help smooth out rough roads with the Rancho shock absorber RS55371, a front shock from the RS5000X line built around Rancho's exclusive Cross Tuned technology. This rebound valving system works with an advanced compression phase and is designed to improve overall handling and performance on and off road. It fits many trucks and SUVs, among them the 1999-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the 1999-2006 GMC Sierra 1500 and the 2000-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
A polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb ride harshness. The fluon-banded piston helps the shock respond to changing road conditions. A low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression, and the application-specific piston's expanded area gives greater control of shock motion. This Rancho absorber is backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Replacing both front shocks together is recommended for balanced handling.
