Rancho RS5000X 0-1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1982-1985 Jeep Scrambler 4WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Jeep Scrambler. Utilizing a unique cross-tuned valve system, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks balance on-road comfort with off-road resilience. Designed specifically for vehicles with 0-1.5 inches of front lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping to handle varied terrain without sacrificing daily drivability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure consistent control during sudden impacts.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A low-pressure nitrogen charge reduces aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance in demanding environments.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these shocks provide the lift for my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to work with vehicles that already have 0 to 1.5 inches of front lift installed.

Will these fit the US Postal FJ-9 model?
Yes, these shocks are compatible with the 1982-1985 AM General FJ-9 US Postal models as specified in the fitment data.

What is the benefit of the included boot?
The boot protects the chrome-hardened piston rod from rocks, dirt, and salt, which prevents premature seal failure and leaks.
