Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1973-1980 Chevy K10 4WD

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory dampening. Engineered for the 1973-1980 Chevy K10 4WD and FJ40 Land Cruiser, these shocks feature a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This Tier 4 setup focuses on rugged durability and dent resistance, ensuring smooth street comfort while maintaining the control required for off-road excursions and leveled stances.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A proprietary internal valve system provides a custom-tuned ride experience to ensure optimal balance between on-road comfort and off-road control.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurization: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube body provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade during spirited driving.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: Specially tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition over small bumps to ensure a refined ride quality on various terrains.
• Protective Boot: A durable red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure longevity against rocks, mud, and debris.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s cross-tuned valving is specifically designed to handle the weight and geometry of classic 4WD leaf-spring applications, offering better damping than generic white-body shocks.
• Performance Benefit: The twin-tube design is inherently more resistant to trail damage; a dent in the outer shell will not seize the internal piston, ensuring you get home safely from the trail.
