The Rancho RS5000X Gas Shocks Rear Pair are high-performance, twin-tube shock absorbers designed to enhance vehicle handling and ride quality for 1982-2003 GMC Sonoma RWD models. Featuring a 2-1/4-inch diameter shock body and gas pressurized to 150 PSI, these shocks incorporate patented progressive rebound and compression discs to deliver a smoother ride over rough terrain. The RS5000X series minimizes shock fade and foaming by reducing air-to-oil mixture, while the all-weather fluid withstands temperatures from -40 to 248 degrees Fahrenheit. The shocks' advanced rebound valving system and progressive engagement design help control impacts from potholes and off-road obstacles, providing improved stability and control both on and off-road. Constructed with low friction, self-lubricating seals, these shocks are built for durability and consistent performance.

Designed specifically for RWD vehicles at factory height or with up to 2 inches of rear lift, these shocks are a direct bolt-on replacement for the original equipment. They are compatible with vehicles without suspension modifications and include all necessary hardware, such as washers, bushings, and nuts, with factory shock mounting bolts reused for installation. The package contains two shocks, making it suitable for rear suspension upgrades on GMC Sonoma models from 1982 to 2003. Ideal for daily driving, off-road adventures, and improved handling, these shocks provide a reliable upgrade to enhance vehicle control and ride comfort.

RS5000X Gas Shock, The core of this new and innovative shock from Rancho is the unique and patented rebound valving system and an advanced compression phase of the shock absorber. This proprietary process developed by the ride engineers at Rancho will elevate the overall handling and performance of your vehicle on and off-road. Each RS5000X shock is gas pressurized to 150 PSI.\* The twin tube, gas pressurized shock has a variety of advantages including minimizing air-to-oil mixture that can cause foaming and shock fade. Gas pressurization also provides a mild boost of spring rate to the vehicle. The RS5000X series features a 2-1/4-inch diameter shock body. A larger shock body allows for increased fluid capacity to operate cooler and to increase vehicle control and performance at varying speeds and terrains. The RS5000X series combines a larger shock body with all-weather fluid, allowing the shock to withstand internal temperatures between -40 and 248 degrees Fahrenheit. The Rancho RS5000X series design includes patented progressive rebound and compression discs. At lower speeds or in the earlier stages of the shock's travel, an eccentric disc in the valve shim stacks will engage the valving at lower frequencies, helping to control the energy of motion as the cycle of the shock increases or decreases in its action. When hitting a pothole, off-road trail obstacle or similar activity, Rancho's Progressive Engagement Valving allows for early flow of fluid, helping to reduce harsh initial impacts and to control the flow of fluid in a progressive, gradual manner through the valving. During on- or off-road driving activities like washboarding or when travelling a rough fire road, the early flow of fluid helps to minimize a "rough" ride as the piston movement is able to glide through the initial travel motion of the shock with minimal ground impact or force. If needed, the Progressive Engagement Valving will further engage to maintain control and stability.
