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

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced twin-tube gas pressure technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for the Jeep CJ series. Designed for vehicles at stock ride height, these shocks feature a cross-tuned valve system that balances on-road civility with rugged off-road durability. The twin-tube design is specifically engineered to resist external damage, ensuring consistent performance even if the outer shell is dented during trail use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure controlled handling on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance during spirited driving.
• 1.375-inch Bore: A large diameter piston provides increased fluid capacity to ensure better heat dissipation and fade resistance.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced mounting points provide maximum structural integrity to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep CJ?
No, these shocks are configured for a 0-inch lift and are designed to replace the factory-length units without changing the ride height.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design for off-roading?
The twin-tube design features an outer reserve tube that protects the inner working tube; if the shock body is dented by a rock, the internal piston can still move freely, preventing a failure on the trail.

Are the dust boots included with this part number?
Yes, this pair of shocks includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to safeguard the piston rods from debris and corrosion.
