Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1987 Chevy R10 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Chevy R10. These gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks are specifically valved to handle the increased demands of a 1.5-inch front lift, offering a balance of off-road durability and smooth highway manners. By utilizing a unique progressive engagement system, these shocks reduce harshness during initial impacts while maintaining firm control during aggressive maneuvers.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive rebounding and compression valving system provides custom-tuned damping to ensure consistent control across varying terrains.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube design provides low-pressure gas charge to reduce aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability in demanding environments.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against debris and moisture to ensure the longevity of the oil seal and piston rod.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 1.5-inch front lift to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The low-pressure nitrogen gas charge helps minimize the mixing of oil and air (aeration), which prevents the shock from losing damping force during rapid cycling on rough roads.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, based on the SKU configuration, this product includes 2 shocks for the front of your vehicle.
