Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1972 Chevy K10 4WD

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your classic Chevy K10. Utilizing a patented Cross-Tuned technology, these twin-tube shocks manage the transition between low and high-speed impacts to reduce harshness. Designed to accommodate up to 2 inches of front lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping control for both daily street driving and light off-road use.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter shock body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent damping performance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge minimizes oil foaming and aeration to ensure rapid response and fade-free performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that have 0 to 2 inches of front lift height already installed.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?
Yes, this pair of shocks comes with all necessary bushings and protective boots required for a standard replacement.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder is protected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
