Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1963-1972 Chevy C10 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to deliver superior ride quality and durability for your classic truck. Engineered specifically for the Chevy C10 2WD, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and shock fade during heavy use. Whether navigating city streets or hauling a load, these gas-pressurized shocks provide the consistent damping and dent-resistant protection required for vintage workhorses.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: Progressive engagement valving provides a smooth ride at low speeds while maintaining firm control during aggressive maneuvers to ensure balanced handling.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A high-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and cavitation.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch diameter shock body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and longer service life.
• Protective Boot: An included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the piston rod to ensure protection against road debris and corrosion.

Why Choose This Product?

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck 1.5 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that have already been modified with a 1.5-inch front lift kit.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55120_n92) includes two front shocks to complete the front axle of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design over a monotube?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; if the outer body is dented by road debris, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning properly.
