Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1982-1985 Jeep Scrambler 4WD

Part Number: RS55118

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 effectively manage impacts to reduce harshness during off-road excursions while maintaining a smooth, controlled feel on the pavement. Configured for 2.5-inch rear lift heights, they offer the necessary travel and durability required for classic 4WD applications.

Features

• Progressively Tuned Valving: A custom-tuned compression and rebound circuit provides a smoother transition between damping stages to ensure consistent comfort across varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen gas-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term seal protection.
• Protective Boot Included: A high-quality polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and mud to ensure the longevity of the chrome-hardened rod.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep Scrambler?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate a Jeep Scrambler already equipped with a 2.5-inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner tube (where the piston moves) remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55118_n810) includes two rear shocks to complete the rear axle of your vehicle.
