Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Lift Shocks for 1976-1986 Jeep CJ7 4WD

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to deliver enhanced ride quality and rugged durability for your Jeep CJ7. Engineered with a large 2.25-inch body, these gas-pressurized shocks provide increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during off-road use. This configuration is specifically valved to accommodate a 2.5-inch lift, ensuring that your classic Jeep maintains excellent wheel travel and a smooth, controlled stance on both pavement and trails.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuitry provides a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent driver comfort.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance in demanding environments.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide superior structural integrity to ensure long-term reliability during high-articulation maneuvers.
• Protective Boot Included: A durable red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure protection against rocks, mud, and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep CJ7?
No, these shocks do not provide the lift themselves. They are specifically length-tuned to work with a Jeep CJ7 that already has a 2.5-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger body and a unique valving system that minimizes “harshness” while maintaining the stability required for 4WD applications.

Are the boots included with this kit?
Yes, this full set includes four red protective boots to keep the piston rods clean and free from scoring.
