Rancho RS5000X 0-1.5″ 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 the 1982-1985 Jeep Scrambler and AM General FJ-9. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with 0-1.5 inches of lift. The core of this shock is the CrossTun™ technology, which manages impact energy to provide smooth street comfort while maintaining the ruggedness required for off-road applications.

Features

• CrossTun™ Technology: A unique valve base system provides a progressive engagement to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during spirited driving.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural integrity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: An included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the oil seal to ensure protection against road debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep Scrambler?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with 0 to 1.5 inches of suspension lift to ensure proper travel and prevent bottoming out.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features CrossTun™ technology and a larger 35mm bore, which allows for better heat dissipation and more refined valving compared to standard replacement shocks.

Are the boots included with this part number?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from dirt and debris.
