Rancho RS5000X 0″ Lift Shocks for 1953-1975 Jeep M38A1 4WD

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your vintage Jeep or FJ-8A. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically valved to mitigate the harshness typically associated with leaf-spring suspensions. Whether navigating job sites or maintaining a classic fleet, these shocks offer the perfect balance of rugged off-road resilience and smooth street comfort.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression disk stack provides a soft initial response that firms up under heavy loads to ensure consistent control across varying terrains.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging minimizes aeration and shock fade to ensure peak performance during extended operation.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The hardened 16mm rod resists scuffing and corrosion to ensure the integrity of the internal seals.
