Part Number: RS55112

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality for vehicles equipped with 2.5 to 4 inches of rear lift. Utilizing a unique cross-tuned valve system, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide a smooth, controlled feel during daily driving while maintaining the rugged durability required for off-road excursions. This set is specifically calibrated to handle the increased unsprung weight and geometry changes of a lifted 1969-1980 Chevy Blazer 4WD.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal valving provides a soft initial response that firms up under load to ensure consistent vehicle stability on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge reduces aeration and shock fade to ensure reliable damping performance during sustained use.
• Increased Fluid Capacity: A 2.25-inch reserve tube allows for greater oil volume to ensure lower operating temperatures and a longer service life.
• Protective Boot Included: A heavy-duty polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure protection against rock chips and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have a 2.5-inch to 4-inch lift kit installed to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning properly.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, based on the SKU configuration, this listing includes 2 rear shocks to cover both the driver and passenger sides of the rear axle.
