RS551240-2" LiftRearShock Absorber2

The Rancho RS5000X Gas Shocks Rear Pair are high-performance shock absorbers designed for 1983-2004 Chevrolet S10 4WD mid-size trucks. Featuring a twin-tube, gas pressurized design at 150 PSI, these shocks incorporate patented progressive rebound and compression discs to enhance handling and ride quality both on and off-road. The larger 2-1/4-inch diameter shock body increases fluid capacity, allowing for cooler operation and improved control across varying terrains. With all-weather fluid and low friction, self-lubricating seals, these shocks minimize foaming and shock fade, providing a smoother ride and better stability. The progressive engagement valving system helps control impacts from potholes and obstacles, reducing harshness and maintaining vehicle stability during demanding driving conditions.

Designed specifically for mid-size 4WD Chevrolet S10 models from 1983 to 2004, including Sport variants and with no suspension modifications or up to 2-inch rear lifts, these shocks are a direct bolt-on replacement. They are compatible with factory hardware, reusing existing mounting bolts, washers, bushings, and nuts for straightforward installation. Excluding vehicles with ZR2 Wide Stance or Highrider packages, these shocks are ideal for off-road use, daily driving, and vehicle upgrades that require reliable, durable suspension components. The package includes two shock absorbers, ensuring balanced performance and handling for your vehicle.

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.
