Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Lift Shocks for 1973-1986 Chevy C10 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your classic Chevy truck. Engineered to accommodate a 1.5-inch lift, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes foam and aeration for consistent performance. This set is designed to deliver a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use and utility tasks.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides increased control during initial impacts to ensure a smooth ride over harsh road surfaces.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge minimizes air-to-oil mixture to ensure consistent damping performance and fade resistance.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide extra structural integrity to ensure long-term durability under heavy load conditions.
• Penton Core Construction: A larger 18mm nitro-carburized piston rod provides increased tensile strength to ensure the shock withstands rigorous suspension cycling.
