Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality for your classic Jeepster. Engineered with a unique valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, controlled ride on the street while maintaining the rugged durability required for light off-road use. By utilizing a gas-pressurized twin-tube design, they effectively minimize aeration and shock fade, ensuring consistent performance for vehicles configured with a 1.5-3 inch front lift.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive rebound and compression disc system provides precise valving control throughout the piston stroke to ensure a balanced ride across varied terrain.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance during continuous cycling.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: A 2-1/4 inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures and improved heat dissipation.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm diameter hardened rod provides superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term seal protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have a 1.5 to 3-inch lift installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; even if the outer tube is dented by debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the road.

Do these include the boots?
Yes, these shocks come with Rancho’s signature red protective dust boots to shield the piston rod from contaminants.
