Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Lift Shocks for 1969-1973 Jeep Jeepster, C101, Commando 4WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your classic Jeepster or Commando. Engineered to provide consistent damping for vehicles with a 2-3″ lift, these shocks balance rugged durability with smooth street performance. By optimizing the transition between compression and rebound, the RS5000X eliminates the harshness often associated with lifted leaf-spring applications.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides reduced initial impact harshness to ensure a smoother ride during daily driving.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen gas-charged 5/8-inch piston rod provides increased pressure to reduce aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance in off-road environments.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red 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 Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically sized and valved to work with vehicles that have already been modified with a 2-3″ suspension lift.

Is the red boot required for installation?
While the shocks can function without them, the boots are highly recommended to protect the chrome piston rod from pitting and rock chips.

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