Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1967-1972 Chevy C-20 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your classic Chevy C-20. Designed for vehicles at stock ride height, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide a smooth, controlled feel during normal driving conditions while offering firm control when encountering rough terrain. This set of front shocks is engineered to minimize aeration and shock fade, ensuring consistent performance for your 2WD workhorse or restoration project.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides early flow of fluid at low velocities to ensure smooth street comfort and reduced harshness.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging at 150 PSI provides a consistent response and prevents oil foaming to ensure fade-free performance.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in demanding environments.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Piston Seal: A specialized reinforced seal provides a tighter interface between the piston and pressure tube to ensure consistent damping across all temperature ranges.
