Product Description

The Rancho RS55297 RS5000X Rear Shock Absorber is a performance replacement shock engineered to enhance rear suspension control and ride comfort for a wide range of full-size trucks and SUVs from Chevy, GMC, Dodge, and Hummer. Featuring Rancho's RS5000X design, this rear shock combines gas pressurization with Progressive Engagement Valving and tuned compression control to deliver smoother damping and improved handling over worn or OEM shocks. The nitro-carburized piston rod and full-displaced piston bore help ensure durability and reliable performance in both on-road and light off-road driving conditions.

Built with an extended travel and robust construction, the RS55297 is suitable for stock rear ride heights and many lifted suspension setups. The included rubber boot protects the shock shaft from dirt and debris, while rubber bushings and a rebound bumper help minimize harsh impacts. Sold individually, it's ideal for restoring ride quality or upgrading older suspension components on compatible vehicles. Always verify exact fitment for your specific year, make, and model before installation.
