Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1991 Chevy/GMC 4WD

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative Crossed-Piston valve system to provide a premium ride for your classic Chevy Blazer or GMC Suburban. Engineered for vehicles with 0 to 2 inches of front lift, these twin-tube shocks focus on balancing rugged durability with smooth street comfort. The gas-pressurized design reduces aeration and shock fade, ensuring consistent damping performance whether you are navigating highway miles or light trails.

Features

• Crossed-Piston Technology: A unique valve design provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth transition between varying road surfaces.
• Gas-Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent damping control during spirited driving.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty piston rod provides increased structural integrity and scuff resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: The included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the oil seal to ensure dirt and debris do not cause premature leaking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that have between 0 and 2 inches of existing front lift height.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, these Rancho RS5000X shocks come standard with red protective polyvinyl boots to shield the piston rod from debris.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design provides an outer reserve tube that can take a dent from a rock or debris without affecting the inner pressure tube, ensuring the shock continues to function in off-road conditions.
