Rancho RS5000X 1.5-3″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1947-1962 Jeep Jeepster 4WD

Part Number: RS55116

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to enhance the ride quality of your classic Jeepster. Engineered for vehicles with 1.5 to 3 inches of rear lift, these shocks solve the problem of harsh rebound and body roll common in older leaf spring applications. The heavy-duty construction provides exceptional durability and dent resistance, ensuring smooth street comfort and reliable performance during light off-road use.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve calibration system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth ride over variable terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under load.
• Protective Boot: A high-quality polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

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 1.5 to 3 inches of rear lift installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55116_n792) includes 2 shocks for the rear of your vehicle.
