Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1987-1989 Chevy R-20 2WD

Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Chevy R-20. Engineered for vehicles with a 1.5-inch front lift, these twin-tube shocks utilize a unique valving system that balances off-road durability with smooth street performance. The gas-pressurized design minimizes fluid aeration, ensuring consistent damping control during daily driving or light trail use.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive rebound and compression disc system provides a specific internal tune to ensure consistent performance across various terrains.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures and higher dent resistance.
• Nitrogen Gas Charging: Pressurized gas displacement provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free damping.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides enhanced vibration dampening to ensure a quiet and comfortable cabin environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these shocks come as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55120_n127) includes a pair of two (2) shocks for the front of your vehicle.

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have a 1.5-inch front lift installed.

What is the benefit of the gas charging in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge reduces the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which prevents the shock from losing its damping effectiveness during rapid movement.
