Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a CrossQuest progressive engagement valving system to deliver a smooth, controlled ride for the Chevy S-10. Engineered for durability, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide excellent dent resistance for off-road environments while maintaining street comfort. Configured for a 3-inch lift, they offer the necessary travel to accommodate increased ride height without sacrificing stability.

Features

• CrossQuest Valving: Progressive engagement technology provides a custom-tuned response to varying road surfaces to ensure consistent handling and comfort.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and structural protection to ensure reliable performance even if the outer shell is dented.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density material provides improved pivot points and vibration dampening to ensure a quiet and responsive suspension feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Chevy S-10?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to work with a vehicle that already has a 3-inch lift installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is ideal for off-roading because the inner working cylinder is protected by an outer reserve tube, ensuring the shock continues to function even if the outer body is dented by debris.

Are the dust boots included?
Yes, these Rancho RS5000X shocks come with protective red dust boots to keep contaminants away from the piston rod and seals.
