Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Jeep Scrambler. Engineered with a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide smooth street comfort while maintaining the durability required for off-road use. Configured specifically for 2.5-inch lift heights, they ensure your suspension maintains proper travel and damping control during articulation.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides increased control during high-velocity impacts to ensure a smooth transition between street and trail.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased oil capacity to ensure consistent damping performance and reduced shock fade.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the rod and seal to ensure protection against debris and rock pitting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to work with a 2.5-inch lift kit already installed on the vehicle.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charging?
The low-pressure nitrogen gas charge minimizes air-to-oil mixture (aeration), which helps maintain consistent damping control even as the shock heats up during use.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55119_n813) includes two (2) front shocks for a complete front axle installation.
