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

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for lifted classic Chevy and GMC trucks. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks mitigate aeration and foaming to maintain consistent damping performance on rough terrain. This set is specifically configured for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of suspension lift, offering a balanced solution that delivers smooth street comfort without sacrificing off-road control.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal valving provides a smooth initial response that firms up under heavy impacts to ensure maximum control during off-road excursions.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: The 5/8-inch nitro-carburized piston rod and gas-charged reserve tube provide increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot Included: High-quality red polyvinyl accordion boots protect the shock rod and oil seal from road debris and moisture to ensure an extended service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that already have a 2.5-inch to 4-inch suspension lift installed.

Are these shocks sold as a complete set?
Yes, this SKU includes a full set of 4 shocks (front and rear) to completely outfit your vehicle’s suspension.

Is the protective boot required for installation?
While the shocks will function without them, the included boots are highly recommended to protect the piston rods from stone chips and contaminants that can damage the seals.
