Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1986-1994 Nissan Pickup Hardbody 2WD

Part Number: RS55188

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Nissan Pickup. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with a 2.5-inch front lift. The cross-tuned technology balances on-road comfort with off-road resilience, effectively dampening harsh impacts while maintaining a smooth street profile.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides specific damping curves to ensure consistent control during both low-velocity maneuvers and high-velocity impacts.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual increase in damping force to ensure smooth transitions over varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube body provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the oil seal remains free from debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Nissan Pickup?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a vehicle that has already been equipped with a 2.5-inch front suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design for my Hardbody?
The twin-tube design is ideal for daily-driven trucks that see occasional trail use, offering a plusher ride on the pavement while protecting the internal components from stone chips or trail damage.

Does this include hardware for both sides of the vehicle?
Yes, this kit (SKU: 2xRS55188) includes a pair of shocks and the necessary mounting hardware to complete the installation on both the driver and passenger front sides.
