Rancho RS5000X 0″ Lift Shocks for 1953-1975 Jeep CJ5, CJ6 4WD

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your classic Jeep or AM General FJ-8A. Designed for vehicles at stock ride height, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks utilize a unique valving system that balances low-speed controlled movement with high-speed comfort. This setup is engineered to handle the rugged demands of 4WD applications while maintaining a smooth, predictable ride on the pavement.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure stability across varying terrain types.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube design provides consistent damping performance to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides increased structural integrity and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot Included: A high-quality red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the oil seal to ensure protection against debris and rock strikes.
