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

Part Number: RS55001

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Chevy K-30 4WD. Utilizing an advanced gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of lift. By minimizing aeration and shock fade, the RS5000X ensures consistent performance and a smooth street-to-trail transition, making it the ideal solution for heavy-duty square-body trucks requiring dependable damping.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a smooth ride during normal driving to ensure comfort on paved surfaces.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under load.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural integrity and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch outer tube provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is damaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Chevy K-30?
No, these shocks do not provide lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to be compatible with vehicles already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift.

Is this a complete set for the front and rear?
Yes, this SKU includes a full set of four shocks (two front and two rear) for a complete vehicle overhaul.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features a larger body and a gas charge which helps dissipate heat faster and prevents the “fade” experienced during sustained off-road use.
