Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for vintage Jeep and AM General applications. Engineered to handle the unique demands of 2-3 inch lifted configurations, these shocks balance off-road durability with smooth street manners. By incorporating a progressive engagement valving system, the RS5000X minimizes harshness while maintaining stability over uneven terrain.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve base system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure consistent comfort and control across varying speeds.
• Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during sustained cycling.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides instant response to road impacts to ensure a smooth transition between low and high-speed damping.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch twin-tube enclosure provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks fit a stock height Jeep?
These shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with 2 to 3 inches of rear lift. Using them on a stock-height vehicle may result in bottoming out the shock, which can cause internal damage.

Does this include both rear shocks?
Yes, this SKU includes a pair (2) of RS55113 shocks to complete the rear axle of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design for my CJ?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.
