Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1977-1986 Chevy K-30 4WD

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the handling and ride quality of your Chevy K-30 or GMC Suburban. Designed specifically for vehicles with 0 to 2 inches of front lift, these twin-tube shocks provide exceptional durability and dent resistance for off-road environments. By reducing initial impact harshness and minimizing body roll, these shocks offer a smooth, controlled street ride without sacrificing the ruggedness required for 4WD applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between damping stages to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Design: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge minimizes aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during spirited driving.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced fade.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not provide lift. They are specifically configured and valved for vehicles already equipped with 0 to 2 inches of front lift height.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design allows for an outer reserve tube which protects the inner working cylinder from dents while providing extra oil volume for cooling.

Does this fit models with the factory quad shock option?
No, these shocks are designed for standard front configurations and exclude models equipped with the O.E. Quad Suspension setup.
