Product Details

Rancho RS5000X struts are part of the RS5000X product line, which focuses on controlled damping for lifted and stock-height suspension setups. This front strut, RS55831, is listed for 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2015-2019 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2014-2018 GMC Sierra 1500, 2015-2019 GMC Yukon, 2015-2019 GMC Yukon XL, 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LD, 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited, and 2020 Chevrolet Tahoe, 2020 GMC Yukon, and 2020 GMC Yukon XL in front applications. It is specified for vehicles that must reuse OE springs and upper mounting components, and several listed fitments raise the front 2.0 in. This part number RS55831 is a direct fitment-focused option for drivers searching for a Rancho front strut for Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, or Silverado 1500 suspension service.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce or float over uneven pavement
• Reduced control during braking, cornering, or lane changes
• Worn front strut performance on lifted or leveled GM trucks and SUVs
• Inconsistent ride quality after suspension service
• Front suspension replacement needs on compatible Chevrolet and GMC models

Installation Notes

Install in the front position only. Listed applications require reuse of OE springs and upper mounting components, so verify the vehicle’s original hardware and suspension configuration before installation. Some fitments note a 2.0 in front lift and leveling application, and several 2015-2019 Tahoe, Yukon, and Yukon XL listings exclude Magnetic Ride Control. Confirm compressed and extended length measurements against the vehicle’s suspension travel before assembly. Part number RS55831 uses loop bushing mounts at both ends.

Quality Assurance

Rancho RS5000X struts are engineered around a dedicated valving system and compression tuning for consistent suspension response. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
