Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your Chevy C-20. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 1.5-inch front lift, these twin-tube shocks provide the ideal balance between rugged durability and smooth street performance. By minimizing fluid aeration and harsh impacts, this shock ensures your classic truck maintains composure across varying road surfaces.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides increased control during high-velocity impacts to ensure a smooth, consistent ride.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance in demanding conditions.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures during extended use.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure longevity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to work with a vehicle that has already been equipped with 1.5 inches of front lift components.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design on this model?
The Twin-Tube design is highly durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Does this include all necessary mounting hardware?
Yes, these shocks come with the required bushings and factory-style mounting hardware for a direct bolt-on installation.
