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

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your Chevy R10. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 1.5-inch rear lift, these shocks manage the increased unsprung weight of larger tire and wheel packages. The twin-tube gas pressurized design provides a durable, dent-resistant outer body that ensures consistent performance during both daily commuting and light off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure maximum comfort on uneven pavement.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressure: 150 PSI gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under load.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and physical protection to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is dented.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides reduced deflection and noise vibration harshness (NVH) to ensure a quiet and controlled cabin environment.
