Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1973-1990 Chevy G10

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Chevy G10. Engineered to handle the unique demands of a 1.5-inch front lift, these shocks balance rugged durability with refined street comfort. By utilizing a larger 2.25-inch body, the RS5000X increases fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent damping during extended use.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve system provides a progressive engagement curve to ensure smooth handling over small bumps and controlled stability during cornering.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging reduces oil aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under load.
• Increased Fluid Capacity: The 2.25-inch outer tube diameter provides a larger reservoir for hydraulic fluid to ensure effective heat dissipation and fade resistance.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the piston rod from road debris and contaminants to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have a 1.5-inch front lift installed to ensure the piston operates within the correct range.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, ensuring the shock continues to function properly.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55120) includes a pair of two shocks for the front of your vehicle.
