Product Details

You're getting a single Rancho RS5000X shock absorber, designed for the rear of your 1977-1991 Chevrolet or GMC pickup. This shock absorber is built to handle a variety of conditions, whether you're on the highway or tackling rougher terrain. It's a solid option for many 4WD trucks from that era, including models like the Chevrolet K30 and GMC K3500.

Rancho uses a unique valving system in these RS5000X shocks that helps improve both on- and off-road handling. The shock features a large, twin-tube body filled with fluid that can handle extreme temperatures, from -40 to 248°F, which helps reduce damping fade. Inside, a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod resists scuffs and corrosion, while a 35mm sintered iron piston adds structural integrity. For a smoother ride, it includes a polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings to absorb harshness.

This shock absorber is nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI, which helps minimize air-to-oil mixing and reduces the chance of the shock losing performance when it gets hot. It comes with Rancho’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, giving you peace of mind with your purchase.
