Rancho RS5000X 1.5-3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1947-1962 Jeep Utility 4WD

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Jeep Utility or FJ-8A. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with 1.5 to 3 inches of front lift. By incorporating a unique cross-tuned valve system, they effectively bridge the gap between rugged off-road performance and smooth highway comfort, ensuring your classic Utility remains composed on any terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a smooth transition between damping rates to ensure controlled handling during sudden maneuvers.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen charge reduces aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under varying thermal loads.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Band: A specialized piston wrap provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure rapid response to road irregularities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically lengthened and valved to accommodate vehicles already equipped with a 1.5 to 3-inch suspension lift.

What is the benefit of the gas charging in the RS5000X?
The low-pressure nitrogen gas charge helps prevent the oil from foaming (aeration), which ensures the shock maintains its damping force even on bumpy roads.

Are these shocks sold as a single unit or a pair?
This specific SKU (2xRS55119) includes a pair of two (2) shocks for the front of your vehicle.
