Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced Cross-Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Jeep DJ5. Engineered with a unique valving system, these twin-tube shocks are specifically designed to minimize aeration and foaming for consistent performance. This setup provides smooth street comfort and rugged durability, ensuring your classic FJ-8A maintains a controlled ride under various load conditions.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valving circuit provides a progressive engagement to ensure a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining control during heavy impacts.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent damping performance in fluctuating temperatures.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and outer-wall protection to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is dented.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the shock rod and oil seal to ensure longevity against road debris and moisture.
