Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system to significantly improve handling and ride quality on your Jeep Scrambler. These twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to reduce aeration and foaming, providing a consistent damping force during off-road excursions. Configured for a 2-inch front lift, they offer the perfect balance of rugged durability and smooth street performance for classic 4WD applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of fluid to ensure smooth ride comfort and controlled handling.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and fade to ensure consistent performance in varied temperatures.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch outer body provides high oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the seal remains free from debris.
