Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Jeep.

The twin-tube design ensures high-impact resistance, making them an ideal solution for Cherokee XJ owners seeking a rugged, reliable ride on any terrain.

Features

• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term cooling and structural integrity in harsh environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure the longevity of the internal seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically engineered with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate a Jeep with an existing 3-inch front lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner working tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Are the dust boots included?
Yes, this pair includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from dirt, mud, and debris.
