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

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your Chevy C10. These twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to handle the unique demands of a 1.5-inch rear lift, providing a perfect balance of on-road comfort and off-road durability. By reducing fluid aeration and shock fade, the RS5000X ensures consistent damping performance during heavy-duty use or daily commuting.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure controlled handling across varying terrains.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A high-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under high-load conditions.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty piston rod provides increased structural rigidity and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and moisture to ensure the integrity of the oil seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a vehicle already equipped with 1.5 inches of rear lift.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55118_n90) includes a pair of two (2) rear shocks.
