Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1982 Chevy Blazer 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design to deliver exceptional ride quality for your classic 2WD Blazer. Engineered to accommodate a 1.5-inch front lift, these shocks feature Cross Tuned technology which balances low-speed comfort with high-speed control. This setup is ideal for drivers seeking a durable, dent-resistant shock that provides smooth street performance and reliable stability during light off-road use.

Features

• Cross Tuned Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides custom-tuned damping to ensure a smooth ride across varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Construction: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent performance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod provides a durable, corrosion-resistant surface to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to work with a vehicle that has already been lifted 1.5 inches.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The low-pressure nitrogen gas charge reduces the mixing of oil and air (aeration), which prevents the shock from fading or feeling “mushy” during repetitive cycles.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, these shocks include Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rod from dirt, rocks, and road grime.
