Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1977-1986 Chevy K-30 4WD

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an advanced CrossTuned technology system to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Chevy K-30. Designed with a high-capacity twin-tube body, these shocks are engineered to handle the increased demands of a lifted suspension while maintaining smooth street comfort. The gas-pressurized design reduces fluid aeration, ensuring consistent performance whether you are navigating daily commutes or rugged work sites.

Features

• CrossTuned Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides an initial soft response for comfort to ensure a smooth ride over small road imperfections.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressure: 150 PSI gas charging provides a reduction in oil foaming and cavitation to ensure rapid damping response and fade resistance.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty black polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically configured to accommodate the increased travel requirements of a vehicle already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design on this model?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55001) includes a pair of two shocks for the front of your vehicle.
