Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Lift Shocks for 1987 Chevy V-20 4WD

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series gas-pressurized shock absorbers are engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your 1987 Chevy V-20. Utilizing a refined twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically valved to handle the weight and geometry of 4WD Suburban models with 0 to 2 inches of lift. By implementing Rancho’s Progressive Engagement Valving, this set minimizes harshness during initial impacts while maintaining firm control during aggressive maneuvers or off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal compression discs provide a smoother transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent comfort on varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge reduces aeration and foaming to provide fade-free performance during sustained suspension cycling.
• Heavy-Duty Body: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube increases fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod from debris to ensure seal longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically length-tuned to work with vehicles that have 0 to 2 inches of suspension lift installed.

Does this kit work with the Factory Quad Suspension option?
No, these shocks are designed for standard suspension configurations and are not compatible with models equipped with the O.E. Quad Suspension package.

How does the RS5000X differ from a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger bore and progressive valving, which allows it to react more quickly to road imperfections than a standard replacement shock.
