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

Part Number: RS55112

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to enhance the ride quality of your Chevy K10. Designed for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of rear lift, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks offer a significant increase in fluid capacity for better heat dissipation. This configuration ensures a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the durability required for off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between damping circuits to ensure a comfortable ride during daily driving without sacrificing control.
• Enlarged 2.25-inch Body: An increased oil capacity provides superior heat dissipation to ensure consistent performance during heavy-duty use or towing.
• Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free damping.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and contaminants to ensure long-term seal integrity.
