Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a CrossFlow Technology system to provide a premium ride for your classic 2WD Chevy C10. These gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks are engineered to handle the unique demands of a 1.5-inch front lift, offering increased fluid capacity for better heat dissipation. By integrating a progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide a smooth street ride while maintaining the durability required for light off-road or utility use.

Features

• CrossFlow Technology: A unique valve design provides a faster response to road impacts to ensure consistent damping control.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• 1.5-Inch Lift Configuration: Optimized shock travel lengths provide proper suspension cycling to ensure the vehicle maintains stability at a 1.5-inch lift height.
• Protective Boot: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity.
