Details on the RS5000X Product Line
The RS5000X line from Rancho focuses on delivering consistent suspension performance for light trucks and SUVs.

The RS55263 shock absorber is part of this series, designed to meet the specific mounting and travel requirements of Chevrolet and GMC full-size pickup trucks.
Technical Description and Features
This Rancho RS55263 shock absorber features a compressed length of 10 inches and an extended length of 14.45 inches, providing a travel length of 4.45 inches. The inclusion of a dust shield helps protect internal components from dirt and debris, extending the service life of the shock. The extended bumper stop enhances suspension travel control, while the absence of a compressed bumper stop and extended hydraulic lockout indicates a focus on standard damping characteristics without additional lockout features.
Mounting is designed for compatibility with Chevrolet and GMC trucks, featuring a cross pin lower mount with a closed end and a 5/16" hole ID on both ends, and a stem mount upper connection with a 2.3/8" stem length and 3/8"-16 thread pitch. This ensures a secure fit for models such as the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Silverado 2500, Sierra 1500 Classic, and GMC Sierra 2500.
