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

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to deliver a refined ride for your classic Jeep or Land Cruiser. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 2.5-inch rear lift, these gas-pressurized shocks bridge the gap between rugged off-road durability and smooth street comfort. The twin-tube design is engineered to handle trail debris and impacts without compromising internal piston movement, making it the ideal solution for daily-driven 4x4s that see frequent weekend use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent vehicle control.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during sustained cycling.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch outer tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure the shock remains functional even in harsh debris-heavy environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty hardened rod construction provides superior scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a vehicle that already has a 2.5-inch rear lift installed.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design?
The twin-tube design allows for an outer reservoir tube to take damage from rocks or debris without affecting the inner pressure tube where the piston operates, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Does this include all necessary hardware?
Yes, these shocks come with the required bushings and sleeves for a direct bolt-on installation to the factory-style mounts.
