Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1963-1972 Chevy C-20 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your classic Chevy C-20. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 1.5-inch front lift, these shocks utilize a progressive engagement valving system that maintains smooth street comfort while increasing control during off-road or hauling scenarios. The twin-tube gas-pressurized design ensures rugged durability and dent resistance, making it the ideal solution for drivers seeking a balanced, reliable ride for their vintage workhorse or project truck.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure consistent control across varying terrain.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: The 5/8-inch nitro-carburized piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density polyurethane material provides enhanced pivot point durability to ensure reduced NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) during operation.
• Protective Boot: An included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the oil seal to ensure protection against road debris and moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-tuned to work with vehicles that have already been modified with a 1.5-inch front lift kit.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder remains functional, allowing the shock to continue operating safely.

Are the boots required for installation?
While the shocks will function without them, the included boots are highly recommended as they protect the piston rod and seals from contaminants that can cause premature wear.
