Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1965-1973 Jeep Gladiator 4WD

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to significantly improve ride quality on your 4WD vehicle. Designed to handle the rigors of both daily commuting and off-road trails, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide a smooth, controlled feel by reducing harsh impacts. This specific rear pair is configured for 2-3 inches of lift, ensuring your suspension maintains proper travel and damping performance after height adjustments.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve calibration system provides a baseline of comfort on-road while increasing control during high-speed suspension cycling to ensure stability on uneven terrain.
• Progressive Engagement: The custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide immediate response to road imperfections to ensure consistent tire-to-ground contact.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter shock body provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure gas charge minimizes aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that have already been modified with a 2-3 inch lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The nitrogen gas charge puts pressure on the internal hydraulic fluid, which prevents the oil from foaming (aeration) during rapid movement, maintaining consistent damping force.

Are these shocks sold in pairs?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55118) includes a pair of two rear shocks to cover both sides of your vehicle’s rear axle.
