Rancho RS7MT 1.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1963-1972 Chevy C10 2WD

Part Number: RS77118

Summary: The Rancho RS7MT series is engineered for high-performance handling and rapid heat dissipation on classic Chevy C10 applications. Utilizing a sophisticated monotube design, these shocks provide the precision and responsiveness required to stabilize your truck’s rear suspension under varying loads. Configured specifically for 1.5 inches of rear lift, they eliminate the “float” common in vintage leaf spring setups, ensuring a planted and controlled ride on both highway and secondary roads.

Features

• Monotube Construction: A high-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides rapid damping response to ensure zero aeration and consistent performance during spirited driving.
• Hardened Nitro-Carburized Rod: The 14mm piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Internal Floating Piston (IFP): The physical separation of gas and oil provides fade-free damping to ensure maximum control during high-frequency suspension cycling.
• Application-Specific Valving: Custom-tuned shim stacks provide optimized rebound and compression cycles to ensure a balanced ride for the Chevy C10 2WD chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Chevy C10?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly on vehicles that have already been modified with a 1.5-inch rear lift.

What is the benefit of a monotube shock over a twin-tube?
Monotube shocks like the RS7MT feature a single cylinder that dissipates heat more efficiently and uses a high-pressure gas charge to prevent the oil from foaming, resulting in more consistent performance.

Do these include the mounting hardware?
Yes, these shocks come with the necessary bushings and hardware required for a standard installation on the specified vehicles.
