Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your 1981 Jeep Scrambler or FJ-8A. Engineered for durability and street comfort, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate vehicles already equipped with 0 to 1.5 inches of front lift.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design on these shocks?
The twin-tube design is ideal for off-roaders because the outer tube protects the inner working cylinder from rock dents, ensuring the piston can continue to move freely.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55119_n814) includes two front shocks for a complete axle installation.
