Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Lift Shocks for 1973-1986 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 Chevy C-20. Designed for vehicles with a 1.5-inch lift, these gas-pressurized shocks utilize a twin-tube body to provide exceptional durability against road debris and off-road hazards. This configuration ensures a smooth, controlled street performance while maintaining the ruggedness required for heavy-duty hauling and vintage truck applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a soft ride during initial travel to ensure comfort on rough pavement.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charge: Pressurized gas displacement minimizes aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance in varied environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: Heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
