Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1965-1973 Jeep Gladiator 4WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTun technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your classic Jeep or AM General vehicle. Engineered for durability and smooth street comfort, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks utilize a progressive engagement valving system to minimize harshness during initial impacts. This configuration is designed for stock height (0″ lift) applications, ensuring a refined ride quality whether you are navigating city streets or light trails.

Features

• CrossTun Technology: A unique progressive valving system provides specific damping curves to ensure smooth ride comfort during daily driving and controlled handling on rougher terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under varied workloads.
• Twin-Tube Design: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in rugged environments.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure the internal seals remain free from debris and contaminants.
