Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your vehicle. These rear shocks are specifically configured for 1.5-inch lift heights, addressing the need for increased travel and stability in lifted applications. By utilizing a unique valving system, these shocks provide a smooth street feel while maintaining rugged durability for off-road excursions.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized progressive engagement valving system provides an initial soft response for comfort to ensure a smooth transition during aggressive handling.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent damping performance under heavy loads.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free performance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle 1.5 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate vehicles already equipped with 1.5 inches of rear lift.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design offers excellent durability; the outer tube can sustain a dent without affecting the movement of the inner piston, making it ideal for off-road use.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, these RS5000X shocks include protective boots to shield the piston rod and oil seal from dirt, rocks, and debris.
