Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced Cross-Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your classic 2WD SUV. Designed specifically for stock height applications, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes foam and aeration. This ensures a smooth, controlled ride during daily commuting while maintaining the rugged durability required for light utility work and highway cruising.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve base system provides progressive damping curves to ensure smooth street comfort and improved stability.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during extended driving cycles.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure the oil seal remains free from debris and contaminants.
