Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1963-1972 Chevy C-20 2WD
Part Number: RS55118
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your classic Chevy C-20. Engineered for vehicles with 1.5 inches of rear lift, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes harshness while maintaining stability. The durable construction ensures consistent performance and dent resistance during heavy-duty use or daily driving.
Features
- Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve base provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrains.
- Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent damping.
- Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty piston rod provides a smooth surface and corrosion resistance to ensure long-lasting seal integrity.
- Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks lift my Chevy C-20?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured to accommodate a vehicle that has already been equipped with 1.5 inches of rear lift.
What is the benefit of the twin-tube design for my truck?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by road debris, the inner working cylinder remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t left stranded.
Are the dust boots included?
Yes, this pair of shocks includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to keep debris away from the piston rod and seals.
