Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1980 Chevy K10 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced Cross-Tuning technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Chevy K10. This gas-pressurized twin-tube shock is engineered to handle the increased demands of a 2.5 to 4-inch lift, balancing rugged off-road durability with smooth street performance. By utilizing a unique valving system, these shocks effectively mitigate the harsh impacts typical of lifted solid-axle applications.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve system provides a progressive damping curve to ensure consistent control across varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging minimizes aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides extra oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot protects the piston rod from debris to ensure seal longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Chevy K10?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift to ensure proper travel limits.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charging?
The nitrogen gas charge reduces fluid cavitation (foaming), which prevents the shock from losing damping force during rapid cycles on rough roads.

Are these shocks sold in pairs?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55001_n82) includes a pair of two shocks for the front of your vehicle.
