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

Part Number: RS55239

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your lifted Jeep Cherokee XJ. Designed for vehicles with a 3-inch lift, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks provide the perfect balance of on-road comfort and off-road durability. The increased fluid capacity of the 2.25-inch body ensures cooler operation and consistent damping performance during extended trail sessions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure controlled handling on any terrain.
• 2.25-inch Twin-Tube Body: Large diameter fluid housing provides increased oil capacity to ensure reduced internal temperatures and fade resistance.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: 150 PSI gas charge provides immediate response and minimizes aeration to ensure consistent damping under rapid cycling.
• Glass-Filled Fluoro-Ethylene Seal: High-performance sealing material provides a low-friction interface to ensure a long service life and protection against leaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep by 3 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-tuned to work with a Jeep that already has a 3-inch suspension lift installed.

Are these shocks sold as a complete set of four?
Yes, this specific SKU includes a full set of four shocks (two front and two rear) to completely refresh your vehicle’s damping system.

Can these be installed on a stock height Cherokee XJ?
No, these shocks are longer than factory units to accommodate a 3-inch lift. Installing them on a stock height vehicle may result in the shock “bottoming out” and sustaining internal damage.
