Rancho RS7MT 2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1981 Jeep Scrambler 4WD

Part Number: RS77119

Summary: The Rancho RS7MT series is engineered for high-performance handling and rapid heat dissipation on lifted Jeep applications. Utilizing a sophisticated monotube design, these shocks provide the precision response needed to eliminate aeration and maintain consistent damping during aggressive off-road use. Configured for 2-inch front lift heights, they offer a significant upgrade in stability and control for the classic Jeep Scrambler chassis.

Features

• Monotube Construction: A high-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a faster damping response to ensure consistent control on uneven terrain.
• Internal Floating Piston: The dedicated oil/gas separator provides zero aeration to ensure fade-free performance during high-frequency cycling.
• Hardened Nitro-Carburized Rod: The 14mm piston rod provides superior scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• FKM Sealing System: High-temperature Viton seals provide a leak-proof barrier to ensure reliable operation under extreme thermal loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct travel and length to accommodate a vehicle already equipped with a 2-inch front lift kit.

What is the benefit of a monotube design over a twin-tube?
Monotube shocks house the oil and gas in a single chamber separated by a floating piston. This allows for better heat dissipation and prevents the oil from foaming (aeration), which maintains consistent performance.

Are these compatible with the US Postal FJ-8A model?
Yes, these shocks are specifically validated for the 1981 AM General FJ-8A and Jeep Scrambler 4WD chassis.
