Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design specifically engineered to enhance both on-road comfort and off-road durability. By utilizing a unique valving system that minimizes aeration, these shocks provide consistent damping force even in demanding environments. Designed for vehicles with a 1.5-inch rear lift, they offer a significant upgrade over factory units by balancing rugged dent resistance with a smooth, controlled ride.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized twin-tube valving system provides increased oil capacity to ensure consistent performance and heat dissipation during heavy use.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides rapid response to road imperfections to ensure maximum tire-to-ground contact.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the shock rod from debris and moisture to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Sintered Iron Piston: A high-strength internal piston provides increased structural rigidity to ensure smooth extension and compression cycles.
