Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1987 Chevy V-20 4WD

Part Number: RS55112

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a specialized Progressive Engagement Valving system to bridge the gap between street comfort and off-road durability. Specifically engineered for the Chevy V-20 4WD, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks are designed to handle the increased demands of a 2.5 to 4-inch lift. The large shock body provides increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during sustained use, ensuring a smooth ride on the pavement and reliable damping on the trail.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure controlled handling under varying road conditions.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during aggressive suspension cycling.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Protective Boot Included: High-quality polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and mud to ensure the longevity of the shock seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Chevy V-20?
No, these shocks do not provide lift; they are specifically lengthened and valved to accommodate a vehicle that already has an aftermarket 2.5″ to 4″ lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the Progressive Engagement Valving?
It allows the shock to remain soft during normal cruising but automatically firms up during sudden movements or off-road impacts to prevent bottoming out.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55112) includes a pair of two (2) rear shocks.
