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

Part Number: RS55245

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Jeep Cherokee XJ. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurization process, these twin-tube shocks are designed to minimize aeration and foaming, ensuring consistent damping performance during off-road excursions. Configured specifically for a 3-inch rear lift, they offer the necessary travel and dent-resistant construction required for rugged trail use while maintaining smooth street comfort.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure optimal control during both high-velocity impacts and low-speed crawling.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides a reduction in fluid cavitation to ensure consistent performance across varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and physical protection to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is dented.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides enhanced durability and vibration isolation to ensure a quiet and stable connection to the chassis.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep Cherokee?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically sized and valved to work with a Jeep Cherokee XJ already equipped with a 3-inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas pressurization?
The gas pressurization prevents the shock oil from foaming (aeration) during rapid cycling, which maintains consistent damping force even on rough washboard roads.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55245_n765) includes two rear shocks to complete the rear axle installation.
