RS552220-2" LiftFrontShock Absorber2

The Rancho RS5000X Gas Shocks Front Pair are high-performance shock absorbers designed for 1982-2003 Chevrolet S10 RWD mid-size trucks and S10 Blazer models. Featuring a twin-tube, gas pressurized design at 150 PSI, these shocks incorporate Rancho’s patented rebound valving system and advanced compression phase to enhance handling both on and off-road. The larger 2-1/4-inch shock body increases fluid capacity, allowing for cooler operation and improved control across various terrains. With all-weather fluid and a low friction, self-lubricating seal, these shocks minimize foaming and shock fade, providing a smoother ride. The progressive engagement valving helps absorb impacts from potholes and obstacles, reducing harshness and maintaining stability during demanding driving conditions.

Designed specifically for RWD vehicles at factory height or with up to 2-inch front lifts, these shocks fit vehicles with no suspension modifications. They include all necessary hardware—washers, bushings, nuts, and factory mounting bolts—for a straightforward bolt-on installation. Compatible with vehicles from 1982 to 2003, including S10 and S10 Blazer models, they are ideal for daily driving, off-road adventures, and performance upgrades. The package contains two shock absorbers, offering a durable, reliable solution to improve ride quality and vehicle control.

RS5000X Gas Shock, The core of this new and innovative shock from Rancho is the unique and patented rebound valving system and an advanced compression phase of the shock absorber. This proprietary process developed by the ride engineers at Rancho will elevate the overall handling and performance of your vehicle on and off-road. Each RS5000X shock is gas pressurized to 150 PSI.\* The twin tube, gas pressurized shock has a variety of advantages including minimizing air-to-oil mixture that can cause foaming and shock fade. Gas pressurization also provides a mild boost of spring rate to the vehicle. The RS5000X series features a 2-1/4-inch diameter shock body. A larger shock body allows for increased fluid capacity to operate cooler and to increase vehicle control and performance at varying speeds and terrains. The RS5000X series combines a larger shock body with all-weather fluid, allowing the shock to withstand internal temperatures between -40 and 248 degrees Fahrenheit. The Rancho RS5000X series design includes patented progressive rebound and compression discs. At lower speeds or in the earlier stages of the shock's travel, an eccentric disc in the valve shim stacks will engage the valving at lower frequencies, helping to control the energy of motion as the cycle of the shock increases or decreases in its action. When hitting a pothole, off-road trail obstacle or similar activity, Rancho's Progressive Engagement Valving allows for early flow of fluid, helping to reduce harsh initial impacts and to control the flow of fluid in a progressive, gradual manner through the valving. During on- or off-road driving activities like washboarding or when travelling a rough fire road, the early flow of fluid helps to minimize a "rough" ride as the piston movement is able to glide through the initial travel motion of the shock with minimal ground impact or force. If needed, the Progressive Engagement Valving will further engage to maintain control and stability.
