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

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your classic Jeep or AM General utility vehicle. Engineered to handle the unique demands of 2-3 inch lifted applications, these shocks resolve the harshness typically associated with older leaf spring suspensions. By integrating a progressive engagement valving system, they provide a smooth street feel while maintaining the durability required for off-road durability.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve base system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure consistent comfort across varying terrain.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: High-flow polished pistons provide a rapid response to road impacts to ensure maximum tire-to-road contact.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during extended use.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide increased structural integrity to ensure long-term reliability in rugged environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not provide lift; they are specifically length-tuned to accommodate vehicles already equipped with a 2-3 inch suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features a larger body and a unique valving system that minimizes “harsh” spikes in damping, resulting in a much smoother transition over bumps.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, this pair includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from debris and corrosion.
