Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to enhance the ride quality of your lifted Jeep or AM General vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for vehicles already equipped with a 2.5-inch suspension lift.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55119_n769) includes 2 shocks for the front of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder remains functional, allowing the shock to continue working.
