Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1987-1991 Chevy V30, V3500 4WD

Part Number: RS55151

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to significantly improve ride quality on both paved roads and rugged trails. Engineered for the Chevy V30 and V3500, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks are designed to handle the stresses of 0-2 inches of front lift. The cross-tuned technology provides a smooth street feel while maintaining the durability required for heavy-duty 4WD applications, effectively mitigating the harshness often associated with older leaf spring configurations.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a gradual transition during impact to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube design provides consistent damping performance and increased oil capacity to ensure maximum heat dissipation.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Piston Seal: A specialized reinforced seal provides a tighter wipe between the piston and pressure tube to ensure long-term durability and leak resistance.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot protects the hardened chrome piston rod from debris to ensure the longevity of the internal seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not provide lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate vehicles already equipped with 0 to 2 inches of front suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger 2.25-inch body and progressive valving, which allows for better cooling and a more refined damping curve compared to standard replacement shocks.

Are these compatible with Quad Shock setups?
No, these are designed for standard front configurations and explicitly exclude models equipped with the O.E. Quad Suspension option.
