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

Part Number: RS55132

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to enhance the ride quality of your Chevy K-30. Engineered with a unique valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the durability required for off-road use. Configured for 0-2 inches of rear lift, they offer a significant upgrade for trucks requiring improved damping and dent resistance in demanding environments.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a soft response during initial travel to ensure smooth highway cruising.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent performance.
• Nitrogen Gas Charging: Pressurized gas prevents oil aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free damping.
• Protective Boot: A high-quality red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55132) includes a pair of two (2) rear shocks.

Will these shocks lift my Chevy K-30?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured to operate correctly on vehicles already equipped with 0 to 2 inches of rear lift.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning properly.
