Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ

Part Number: RS55128

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system to provide a significant upgrade for your Jeep’s daily handling and trail durability. These twin-tube gas pressurized shocks are specifically engineered to minimize aeration and foaming, providing a consistent ride even on rough surfaces. Designed for stock height applications, they offer the perfect balance of on-road comfort and off-road resilience, ensuring your vehicle remains stable and controlled in all conditions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides restricted oil flow at low speeds and increased flow at high speeds to ensure smooth street comfort and firm off-road control.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: The nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced shock fade during extended use.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity and durability.
• Self-Lubricating Seal: A specialized PTFE-coated seal provides reduced friction and heat to ensure a longer service life in harsh environments.
