Description of πŸš— RS55198 Rancho RS5000X Shock Absorber

IMPROVED HANDLING AND PERFORMANCE -- Cross Tuned technology featuring exclusive rebound valving system and advanced compression phase improves overall handling and performance on and off road. MINIMIZES ROUGH RIDE -- Exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving is custom-tuned for each vehicle to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds and minimizes a rough ride. STRONG AND DURABLE -- Features a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs & corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas, 35mm sintered iron piston for enhanced structural integrity and polyvinyl protective boot. HANDLES EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES -- Large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid allows for cooler operation, increased vehicle control and ability to withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248Β°F. SMOOTH PERFORMANCE -- Polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb ride harshness while the fluon-banded piston enhances responsiveness to changing road conditions for an overall smoother ride. REDUCES FADE -- Nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixture to reduce damping performance fade and foaming. MAINTAINS VEHICLE CONTROL -- Compression Control Valve is custom-tuned for each vehicle to regulate fluid transfer to absorb impacts without disc flutter and help maintain shock motion control. BUILT TO LAST -- Low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression while the application-specific piston delivers heightened control of shock motion due to the expanded piston area.

Good quality shocks for the money

Shocks from any other brand I wouldn't even consider. This is excellent value for money. I was able to replace the old shock absorbers with these in less than 30 minutes. I would say anyone with a few basic tools can do it on their own.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Excellent shock absorbers for the price

Good quality shock absorbers. Replaced the stock Rancho oil dampers in the rear of my 2013 Silverado 1500 Z71. These gas shocks make for a stiffer ride than stock oil shocks, but this is a truck. Handling is better and installation was easy.

Pros
  • The best in their niche
Cons
  • will be added later

Updated 'X' series is shockingly disappointing

These are the new RS5000 'X' shock absorbers. First, I returned her to Rancho, Tenneco, as part of ensuring her integrity and safety. [.] . I haven't received a refund yet, but we'll see if they refund my work (I'm a professional auto technician). I mounted them on a 2005 long cab Silverado 1500 4x4 with a short deck and an all aluminum 5.3. The previous owner of this truck did not retrofit the rear shocks when I made the front shocks for them. I bought a truck from them and wanted shock…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
