Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design to enhance the ride quality of your Chevy Pickup LUV or AM General FJ-9. Engineered for vehicles with 0-2 inches of rear lift, these shocks feature a unique Cross-Tuned valve system that balances on-road comfort with off-road durability. The larger shock body allows for increased fluid capacity, ensuring consistent performance by reducing internal heat buildup during extended use.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve system provides a progressive engagement curve to ensure smooth transitions between varying terrain types.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping force in rugged conditions.
• Protective Boot: A durable red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure longevity against road debris and moisture.
• OE-Style Mounts: Precision-engineered mounting points provide a direct-fit bolt-on installation to ensure a secure connection to the chassis and axle.
