Rancho RS5000X 4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1979-1983 Toyota Pickup 4WD

Part Number: RS55017

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your classic Toyota Pickup. Utilizing a sophisticated progressive engagement valving system, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks effectively manage the harshness of lifted leaf spring suspensions. This design ensures smooth street comfort while maintaining the ruggedness required for off-road excursions, specifically configured for vehicles with a 4-inch front lift.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition in damping force to ensure consistent control during varied terrain impacts.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge minimizes aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance under heavy cycling.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure the internal piston remains functional in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot protects the 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this shock sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55017) includes a pair of two shocks for the front of your vehicle.

Will these shocks lift my Toyota Pickup?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured in length to accommodate a Toyota Pickup that already has a 4-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
