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

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your classic truck. Engineered to accommodate a 1.5-inch rear lift, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and foaming. This ensures consistent performance and a smooth street ride, making them the ideal solution for restored C10s requiring enhanced durability and comfort.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized progressive engagement valving system provides controlled damping at varying speeds to ensure optimal ride quality during both highway cruising and light hauling.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent response and prevents performance fade to ensure reliable damping under load.
• Protective Boot: A durable red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically sized and valved to work with a Chevy C10 that has already been equipped with 1.5 inches of rear lift via leaf springs.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge reduces the mixing of air and oil (aeration), which prevents the shock from feeling “spongy” during spirited driving or while carrying cargo.

Are these compatible with coil spring rear ends?
No, these are specifically designed for 1963-1972 C10 models equipped with rear leaf spring suspensions.
