Tame the ride and keep your heavy-duty truck planted on and off the pavement with the Rancho RS5000X shock absorber (RS55381), a rear-position Rancho shock absorber built around Rancho's exclusive Cross Tuned technology. Its rebound valving system and advanced compression phase are designed to improve overall handling and performance both on and off road, and it drops in for the 2011-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 2011-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 HD, 2011-2019 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, and 2011-2018 GMC Sierra 3500 HD.

  • Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned for each vehicle to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds and minimize a rough ride.
  • Strong and durable: 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod resists scuffs and corrosion, with double-welded loops at stress areas, a 35mm sintered iron piston, and a polyvinyl protective boot.
  • Handles temperature swings: Large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid for cooler operation, rated to withstand internal temperatures from -40 to 248°F.
  • Reduces fade: Nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixing and help reduce damping fade and foaming.

A polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb harshness, while the fluon-banded piston and a low-friction, self-lubricating seal support quicker rebound and smoother compression. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Sold individually; replacing shocks in pairs is recommended for balanced ride control.
