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

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Chevy K10 or GMC Suburban. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with a large 2.25-inch body, these shocks offer increased fluid capacity to maintain cool operating temperatures during demanding use. Configured for 0-2 inches of lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping control to handle both daily commutes and rugged off-road trails with a focus on smooth street comfort.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure a comfortable ride on-road and controlled stability off-road.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent response and reduces aeration to ensure fade-free performance under varied conditions.
• 2.25-inch Shock Body: A larger diameter reservoir provides increased oil capacity to ensure maximum heat dissipation during long-duration cycles.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Chevy K10?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and collapsed lengths to accommodate vehicles already equipped with 0 to 2 inches of suspension lift.

Does this kit work on trucks with the factory quad-shock option?
No, these are designed for standard single-shock configurations and explicitly exclude models with the O.E. Quad Suspension setup.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner tube remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.
