Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Lift Shocks for 1953-1975 Jeep CJ5, CJ6 4WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for classic Jeep applications. Designed specifically for CJ5 and CJ6 models with a 2-3 inch lift, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that balances off-road durability with smooth street performance. The gas-pressurized twin-tube design ensures consistent damping and impact absorption, making it an ideal solution for restoring or enhancing the suspension geometry of vintage 4WD vehicles.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A proprietary progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure consistent control across varying terrain types.
• Nitrogen Gas Charge: High-pressure gas displacement provides immediate response and reduced aeration to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-grade synthetic bushings provide superior vibration isolation to ensure a quiet and comfortable cabin experience.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s CrossTune system uses a larger 2.25-inch reserve tube to increase oil capacity, keeping the shock cooler under load compared to standard OE replacements.
• Performance Benefit: Drivers will notice a reduction in “body roll” and harsh bottoming out, resulting in a more planted feel both on the highway and the trail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and extended to accommodate Jeeps that have already been modified with a 2-3 inch lift kit.

How does the RS5000X differ from the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features a larger body and a patented valving system that initiates damping sooner in the stroke for better control over small bumps.

Are the red boots included in the package?
Yes, this kit includes the signature Rancho red dust boots to protect the piston rods from debris and corrosion.
