Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1982-2003 Chevy S-10 2WD

Part Number: RS55222

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for both on-road and off-road environments. Engineered for durability, these shocks utilize a larger 2.25-inch body to increase fluid capacity, which helps maintain cooler operating temperatures during consistent use. This specific pair is configured for 0-2 inches of front lift, offering a smooth street feel while maintaining the ruggedness required for light trail work and utility tasks.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned rebound and compression disc stack provides a smooth transition between damping cycles to ensure improved handling on uneven terrain.
• Large Shock Body: The 2.25-inch twin-tube outer housing provides increased oil capacity to ensure maximum heat dissipation and fade resistance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure Nitrogen charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct travel and length for vehicles that already have 0-2 inches of front lift installed.

The RS5000X features a larger bore and specialized valving that reduces “shock fade” and provides a more controlled ride compared to standard OE replacements.
