Rancho RS5000X 3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee XJ

Part Number: RS55239

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Jeep Cherokee XJ. Designed specifically for vehicles with 3 inches of front lift, these shocks utilize a cross-tuned twin-tube design to balance on-road comfort with rugged off-road capability. By integrating gas-pressurized technology, they effectively minimize aeration to ensure consistent damping performance during daily commutes or trail excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure driver comfort over varying terrain.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in fluid aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under load.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides increased structural rigidity and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life.
• Protective Boot: Included Polyvinyl bellows provide a barrier against debris and moisture to ensure the longevity of the oil seal and piston rod.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep by 3 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate vehicles that have already been equipped with a 3-inch suspension lift kit.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design on these shocks?
The twin-tube design provides an outer chamber for oil storage, making the shock more resistant to external damage (dents) while maintaining a smooth, comfortable ride for daily driving.

Are boots included with these Rancho RS5000X shocks?
Yes, these shocks come with red polyvinyl protective boots to shield the piston rod from dirt, rocks, and environmental debris.
