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

Part Number: RS55116

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your Jeep Utility. These twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to handle the increased demands of a lifted suspension, providing a smooth street feel without sacrificing off-road durability. Designed specifically for vehicles with 1.5 to 3 inches of rear lift, they offer the ideal balance of compression and rebound damping for vintage utility applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide increased control during high-velocity impacts to ensure consistent damping on rough terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Design: The 2.25-inch diameter shock body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced fade.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charge minimizes air-to-oil mixture (aeration) to ensure immediate response and prevent shock “fade” during spirited driving.
• Protective Boot: A durable red polyvinyl accordion boot protects the hardened chrome piston rod from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are configured for vehicles already equipped with a 1.5-3″ lift kit to ensure the piston operates within its optimal travel range.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; even if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Do these come with everything needed for installation?
Yes, this pair of shocks includes the necessary bushings and protective boots required for a standard installation on the rear of your vehicle.
