Help smooth the ride on- and off-road with the Rancho RS5000X shock absorber (RS55151), a front shock absorber built to control ride motion. It's a direct-fit front replacement for many Chevrolet and GMC vehicles, including the 1969-1974 and 1987-1991 Chevrolet Blazer, 1975-1986 Chevrolet K10 and 1970-1991 GMC Jimmy — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of fitments.

  • Cross Tuned technology: an exclusive rebound valving system paired with an advanced compression phase, tuned to improve overall handling and performance on and off road.
  • Progressive Engagement Valving: custom-tuned for each vehicle to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds and minimize a rough ride.
  • Strong and durable: 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs and corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas, a 35mm sintered iron piston and a polyvinyl protective boot.
  • Handles temperature swings: a large 2-1/4 inch twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid, nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixing and reduce damping fade and foaming.

Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Shocks work as a set, so replacing both sides on the axle together is recommended for balanced ride control.
