Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1981-1986 Chevy K10 4WD

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Chevy K10 or GMC Suburban. Designed as a high-performance twin-tube solution, these shocks feature a unique valving system that balances on-road comfort with off-road durability. Specifically configured for 0-2 inches of front lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping control to handle increased ride heights without sacrificing stability.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure consistent control across varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy work or trail use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A reinforced 16mm rod diameter provides superior scuff resistance and protection against corrosion to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s CrossTune valving utilizes a larger 35mm bore to provide more precise control over internal fluid flow compared to standard factory shocks.

Do I need to purchase boots separately?
No, these Rancho RS5000X shocks include protective red boots to help shield the piston rod from debris and contaminants.

Can I use these if I have the Quad Shock option from the factory?
No, these are designed for standard front suspension configurations and specifically exclude O.E. Quad Suspension setups.
