Rancho RS5000X Gas Shocks Set - 1979-1986 GMC K3500 4WD

The Rancho RS5000X Gas Shocks Set is a high-performance suspension component designed for 1979-1986 GMC K3500 4WD trucks. This set includes four twin-tube gas pressurized shocks with a 2-1/4-inch diameter shock body, engineered to enhance vehicle handling and off-road capability. Featuring patented progressive rebound and compression discs, these shocks provide smooth, controlled damping across a variety of terrains. Gas pressurization at 150 PSI minimizes foaming and shock fade, while the all-weather fluid ensures reliable operation between -40 and 248 degrees Fahrenheit. The shocks incorporate low friction, self-lubricating seals and a unique rebound valving system that improves ride quality by controlling energy transfer during compression and rebound cycles. The design aims to reduce harsh impacts and provide consistent performance, whether on-road or off-road.

These shocks are designed to fit GMC K3500 4WD models from 1979 to 1986 at factory height or with up to a 2-inch front and rear lift. They are a direct bolt-on replacement that reuses factory hardware, including washers, bushings, nuts, and mounting bolts. Suitable for vehicles with no suspension modifications or minor lift systems, this kit is ideal for off-road adventures, daily driving, and improved stability. The package includes four shocks and four shock boots, offering a complete upgrade for enhanced durability and ride quality. These shocks are backed by Rancho’s limited lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.
