Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1974 Jeep Wagoneer & Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to deliver improved handling and durability for both on-road and off-road environments. Engineered for vehicles with 2-3 inches of front lift, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes harshness by mitigating initial impacts. This gas-pressurized solution provides a smooth street ride while maintaining the ruggedness required for trail use on classic 4WD platforms.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping forces to ensure consistent comfort on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides a reduction in oil aeration and foaming to ensure reliable damping performance under various load conditions.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty piston rod provides increased structural rigidity and resists scuffing to ensure a long-lasting pressure seal.
• Glass-Filled Fluoro-Vinyl Seal: Specialized sealing material provides high heat resistance and reduced friction to ensure a leak-free service life in extreme environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate a vehicle that already has a 2-3″ front lift kit 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 tube (where the piston travels) remains functional, allowing you to finish your trail ride.

Are the dust boots included?
Yes, these shocks include Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rod from dirt, mud, and debris.
