Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep Wagoneer?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved for Wagoneers that already have a 2-3 inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working tube remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Are the shock boots required for installation?
While the shocks can function without them, the included red boots protect the piston rod from pitting and debris, which is critical for maintaining the life of the seals.
