Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your classic Chevy K10. Designed for vehicles with 0-2 inches of front lift, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks utilize a unique progressive engagement valving system to balance off-road durability with smooth street comfort.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure consistent control across varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-velocity nitrogen gas charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade resistance.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Chevy K10?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate vehicles already equipped with 0-2 inches of front lift height.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design on this model?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; the outer tube can take a dent without affecting the inner cylinder’s piston travel, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Do these come with the protective boots?
Yes, these RS5000X shocks include Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rod from debris and corrosion.
