Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1947-1962 Jeep Utility 4WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the standard for twin-tube performance, specifically engineered to provide a smooth street ride and rugged off-road durability for your classic Jeep Utility. Utilizing a unique CrossTune Technology, these shocks manage the transition between compression and rebound to eliminate the harshness often found in older suspension designs. By incorporating a larger 2.25-inch reserve tube, the RS5000X increases oil capacity to maintain consistent damping performance during extended use.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned feel to ensure comfort on the highway and control on the trails.
• Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping under heavy cycling.
• 2.25-inch Body: An oversized reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures and fade resistance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A hardened 16mm rod surface provides superior corrosion resistance and seal longevity to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
