Rancho RS5000X 3″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1983-1993 Chevy S-10 4WD

Part Number: RS55124

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design that significantly improves off-road handling while maintaining a smooth street ride. Engineered for the 1983-1993 Chevy S-10 4WD, these shocks utilize a unique progressive engagement valving system to minimize harshness during initial impacts. This configuration is specifically valved for vehicles equipped with 3 inches of rear lift, providing the necessary travel to prevent bottoming out during articulation.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized twin-tube valving circuit provides increased control over rough terrain to ensure consistent tire-to-ground contact.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure fade-free performance in demanding environments.
• Protective Boot: The included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the piston rod against debris and rock chips to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Robust Construction: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s application-specific tuning ensures that the valving is matched to the weight and geometry of the S-10 chassis rather than a generic “one-size-fits-all” approach.
• Performance Benefit: Drivers experience a significant reduction in “body roll” and “wheel hop,” resulting in a more planted and predictable feel on both pavement and trails.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks are designed to be installed on vehicles already equipped with a 3-inch rear lift kit. Shocks do not provide lift; they control the motion of the suspension.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design on this model?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner pressure tube remains functional, allowing you to finish your trail ride.

Are the bushings included with these shocks?
Yes, these shocks include RS5000X series bushings and the necessary mounting hardware for a direct-fit installation.
