Rancho RS5000X 1.5″ Lift Shocks for 1987-1989 Chevy R-20 2WD
Part Number: RS55120
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Chevy R-20. Engineered with a unique valving system, these shocks mitigate the harshness typically associated with lifted 2WD trucks while maintaining necessary stability. Configured for a 1.5-inch lift, they offer the perfect balance of durability and smooth street comfort for daily driving and light utility use.
Features
- Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth ride over varied road surfaces.
- Gas Pressurized Design: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a quicker response time to road imperfections to ensure consistent contact and control.
- Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
- Polyurethane Bushings: High-density polyurethane mounts provide superior durability over rubber to ensure long-lasting performance and reduced deflection.
