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

Part Number: RS55239

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design engineered to enhance the ride quality of your lifted Jeep Cherokee XJ. By utilizing a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable ride during daily commuting while maintaining the necessary firm control for off-road trails. Configured specifically for 3-inch lift heights, they eliminate the “harshness” often associated with lifted suspensions by managing initial impacts more effectively.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression disk stack provides reduced harshness during initial movement to ensure a smoother ride over small road imperfections.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube body provides consistent damping performance and increased oil capacity to ensure maximum durability during off-road excursions.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term seal reliability.
• Self-Lubricating Seal: The high-temperature fluid seal provides a consistent wiping action to ensure internal oil retention and protection against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep Cherokee?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to be used on a Jeep Cherokee XJ that already has a 3-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X utilizes progressive engagement valving, which allows the shock to react more quickly to changes in terrain, providing better control than standard replacement shocks.

Are the boots included with this set?
Yes, this SKU includes the signature Rancho red protective dust boots to help shield the piston rods from dirt, mud, and debris.
