Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have 1.5 inches of front lift to ensure the piston operates within the correct range.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for street use and light off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by debris, the inner cylinder remains functional, allowing the shock to continue working.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, these Rancho RS5000X shocks include protective dust boots to shield the piston rod from dirt and road grime.
