Part Number: RS55605

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your classic Nissan or Chevy LUV. These gas-pressurized shocks utilize advanced valving to minimize aeration and foaming, ensuring consistent performance on both pavement and light trails. Specifically configured for 0-2 inches of front lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping control to maintain a smooth, composed stance.

Features

• Crossed Landscape Valving: A progressive engagement system provides a smooth transition between damping cycles to ensure consistent comfort across varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides a reduction in fluid aeration to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• 1-3/16″ Bore Diameter: The RS5600 series internal bore provides increased fluid capacity to ensure improved heat dissipation during extended use.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the shock rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured to work with vehicles that have 0-2 inches of front lift height already installed.

Is this for a single shock or a pair?
This SKU includes 2 shocks, providing a complete solution for your front axle.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The nitrogen gas charge keeps the internal oil under pressure, which prevents bubbles from forming (aeration) and ensures the shock doesn’t lose its damping effectiveness during rough driving.
