Rancho RS5000X 3-4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1967-1968 Chevy K-20 4WD

Part Number: RS55112

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted applications. Engineered for the 1967-1968 Chevy K-20 4WD, these shocks utilize a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system to manage the high-energy impacts often encountered off-road while maintaining a smooth, controlled feel on the pavement. This gas-pressurized solution is specifically configured for vehicles with 3 to 4 inches of rear lift, ensuring the piston remains within its optimal operating range.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal valving provides a soft ride during initial travel and firmer control during high-velocity impacts to ensure consistent handling across varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced shock fade.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the oil seal to ensure protection against rocks, mud, and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Chevy K-20?
No, these shocks do not provide lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with a vehicle that has already been equipped with 3 to 4 inches of rear lift components.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris while off-roading, the inner tube remains protected, allowing the shock to continue functioning properly.

Do these include the mounting bushings?
Yes, these shocks include the necessary bushings and sleeves for a direct-fit installation on the 1967-1968 Chevy K-20 4WD rear mounts.
