Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Lift Shocks for 1972-1975 Jeep CJ5, CJ6 2WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your vintage Jeep or AM General utility vehicle. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurization process, these shocks mitigate aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance during off-road use. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 2.5-inch lift, they provide the necessary travel and valving to maintain control and comfort across varied terrain.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure smooth street comfort and responsive off-road handling.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas-charged design provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance in high-duty cycles.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks work on a stock height vehicle?
These shocks are specifically configured for 2.5 inches of lift; using them on a stock height vehicle may result in bottoming out and internal damage.

Does this kit include all four shocks?
Yes, this specific package includes a full set of four shocks to outfit the entire vehicle.

What is the benefit of the gas charging in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge keeps the internal hydraulic fluid under pressure, which prevents the air bubbles that cause “shock fade” during rhythmic bumps.
