Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your classic Jeep DJ5. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design and gas-pressurization, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with a 2.5-inch lift. This setup effectively manages the unique weight distribution of the FJ-9 chassis, ensuring a smooth street feel while maintaining the ruggedness required for daily utility and light off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping forces to ensure consistent comfort on uneven terrain.
