Rancho RS5000X 2″ Lift Shocks for 1981 Jeep Scrambler 4WD

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series delivers a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design specifically tuned for the 1981 Jeep Scrambler. Engineered with Crossed Characteristic Valve (CCV) technology, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the rugged durability required for light off-road use. This complete set is configured for vehicles with a 2-inch lift, ensuring optimal piston travel and eliminating the harsh bottoming-out common with factory-length components.

Features

• CCV Technology: Progressive engagement valving provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure consistent handling across varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter outer tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term cooling and structural integrity.
• Nitrogen Gas Charge: High-pressure gas displacement provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure immediate damping response during rapid cycling.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure seal longevity in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep Scrambler?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for a Jeep Scrambler that already has a 2-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner pressure tube remains protected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Are the dust boots included?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to keep debris away from the piston rods and seals.
