Rancho RS5000X 0-1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1983-1986 Nissan Pickup 4WD

Part Number: RS55605

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your 4WD Nissan Pickup. Engineered to handle a lift range of 0 to 1.5 inches, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and foaming. This ensures a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the rugged durability required for light off-road use and work applications.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve system provides a progressive engagement to ensure consistent damping across various terrain types.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube body provides excellent impact resistance to ensure the internal piston remains protected during off-road travel.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure debris and moisture do not compromise the oil seal.
• 1-3/16″ Internal Bore: The 1-3/16 inch piston diameter provides a balanced damping force to ensure improved stability for vintage 4WD platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Nissan Pickup?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate vehicles with 0 to 1.5 inches of front lift.

The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer shell is dented by a rock or debris, the inner tube remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded during off-road use.
