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.

Why Choose This Product?
- Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s CrossTune system utilizes a larger 5/8-inch nitro-carburized piston rod for increased structural rigidity compared to standard replacement shocks.
- Performance Benefit: The twin-tube configuration offers superior protection against stone bruising, meaning a dent in the outer shell will not compromise the internal piston movement.

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.
