Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Lift Shocks for 1963-1972 Chevy C10 2WD with Rear Leaf Spring

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your classic Chevy C10. Engineered specifically for vehicles with a 1.5-inch rear lift, these shocks address the harshness often associated with aged leaf spring suspensions. By balancing internal valving cycles, the RS5000X provides a smooth street feel while maintaining the durability required for light hauling and daily driving.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent comfort on uneven pavement.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during extended drive cycles.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly on vehicles already equipped with a 1.5-inch lift kit.

Are these shocks sold as a pair or a full set?
Based on the SKU 2xRS55120_2xRS55118, this package includes a full set of four shocks for the front and rear of the vehicle.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; the outer tube can take a dent from road debris without affecting the inner cylinder where the piston moves, ensuring you aren’t left stranded.
