Rancho RS5000X 0-3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1973-1982 Chevy Blazer 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for classic 2WD Chevy Blazer and Jeep Wagoneer applications. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for 0-3 inches of front lift, effectively managing the increased unsprung weight of larger tire packages. The CrossTune technology ensures a smooth street feel while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use, making them an ideal solution for restoring or leveling your vintage rig.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides a balanced compression and rebound stroke to ensure consistent comfort across varying road surfaces.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube body provides extra oil capacity to reduce internal temperatures and ensure fade-free performance during extended driving.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty black polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure the oil seal remains free of debris and contaminants.
