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

Part Number: RS55132

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to deliver a smooth, controlled ride for your Chevy or GMC K-Series truck. Engineered for vehicles with 0-2 inches of rear lift, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks are designed to handle both daily commuting and rugged off-road environments. By reducing aeration and shock fade, the RS5000X ensures consistent damping performance and durability for heavy-duty 4WD applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between damping circuits to ensure a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining control during large impacts.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent response and prevents oil foaming to ensure reliable performance under high-load conditions.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide superior structural integrity to ensure long-term durability on 1-ton 4WD chassis.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and moisture to ensure the longevity of the polished chrome piston rod.
