Rancho RS7MT 2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1976-1981 Jeep CJ5, CJ7 4WD

Part Number: RS77119

Summary: The Rancho RS7MT series is engineered for high-performance handling and rapid heat dissipation on classic Jeep platforms. Utilizing a sophisticated monotube design with a nitrogen gas charge, these shocks provide the precise damping control required to eliminate aeration during aggressive off-road use. Specifically configured for 2.5-inch lift heights, they ensure your CJ maintains optimal suspension geometry and stability across varied terrain.

Features

• Monotube Design: A high-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a faster damping response rate to ensure consistent tire-to-ground contact.
• Internal Floating Piston: The physical separation of gas and oil provides zero aeration to ensure fade-free performance in high-heat environments.
• Hardened Nitro-Carburized Rod: The 14mm piston rod provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Application-Specific Valving: Custom-tuned shim stacks provide precise control for the Jeep CJ’s leaf spring rate to ensure a balanced, firm ride.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly on vehicles already equipped with a 2.5-inch suspension lift.

Are these better for street or trail?
The RS7MT is a performance-oriented shock. While it provides excellent stability on the street, its monotube design excels in off-road conditions where rapid piston movement occurs.

Do I need to purchase boots separately?
No, these shocks include protective boots to shield the nitro-carburized rod from trail debris and contaminants.
