Part Number: RS55120

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality for both on-road and off-road environments. Engineered with a unique valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, consistent feel by reducing aeration and foaming under harsh conditions. This pair is specifically configured for vehicles with 0-3 inches of front-end lift, ensuring the suspension maintains optimal travel and control during daily driving or light trail use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure driver comfort across varying terrains.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: The 2.25-inch diameter shock body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping performance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and durability to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are designed with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate vehicles that have already been lifted 0-3 inches.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner tube remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Do these come with the red boots included?
Yes, this pair includes the signature Rancho red protective boots to keep the piston rods clean and free of debris.
