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

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to enhance the ride quality of your classic Jeep Utility. By incorporating a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks effectively manage the transition between smooth pavement and harsh off-road terrain. Engineered for vehicles with 1.5 to 3 inches of lift, they provide the necessary damping control to stabilize older suspension geometries while maintaining driver comfort.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition through the stroke to ensure consistent handling on varied surfaces.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: A 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge minimizes aeration and foaming to provide reliable damping performance under continuous use.
• Large Shock Body: The 2.25-inch reserve tube increases oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures during extended travel.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides increased tensile strength and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and lengthened to accommodate Jeep Utility models that have already been equipped with a 1.5″ to 3″ lift kit.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design for an older Jeep?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; the outer tube can take a dent from a rock or debris without affecting the inner cylinder’s piston movement, making it ideal for off-road use.

Are the shock boots included?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from dust, mud, and road grime.
