Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1963-1972 Chevy C30 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your 1963-1972 Chevy C30. By utilizing a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks minimize harshness during initial impacts while maintaining firm control during heavy handling. Configured for 0-inch lift heights, they serve as a premium OE-replacement that balances daily driving comfort with the rugged durability required for heavy-duty 2WD trucks.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides reduced harshness during initial compression to ensure a smoother ride on choppy pavement.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen gas-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure consistent damping performance under varying load conditions.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term seal life.
• Protective Boot Included: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and moisture to ensure the chrome rod remains free of pitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks are designed to work with vehicles at 0″ of lift height and do not provide any lift themselves.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger 2.25-inch body and progressive valving, which handles heat and road vibrations much better than standard replacement shocks.

Are the boots required for installation?
While the shocks will function without them, the included boots are highly recommended to protect the piston rod from debris that can cause seal failure.
