Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1980 Chevy Blazer 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the classic twin-tube performance for lifted 4WD vehicles. Engineered with a unique Cross-Tuned technology, these shocks utilize a progressive engagement valving system to minimize harshness during initial impacts. Designed specifically for the 1969-1980 Chevy Blazer, they provide the necessary travel and damping control for rigs with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, ensuring a smooth street ride without sacrificing off-road durability.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized progressive valving system provides increased control at high speeds while maintaining comfort during low-speed crawls to ensure a versatile driving experience.
• Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade during spirited driving.
• Increased Fluid Capacity: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides improved heat dissipation to ensure consistent performance under heavy loads or rough terrain.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 2.5-inch to 4-inch suspension lift to ensure proper travel limits.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas pressurization?
The nitrogen gas charge keeps the internal oil under pressure, which prevents the oil from foaming (aeration) during rapid cycling, maintaining consistent damping performance.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, Rancho RS5000X shocks include protective boots to shield the piston rod from debris and trail damage.
