Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with 0 to 1.5 inches of front lift to ensure proper suspension travel.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charging?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of air and oil (aeration), which prevents the shock from losing its damping effectiveness during repetitive cycles.

How many shocks are included in this SKU?
This specific part number includes a pair (2) of front shocks.
