Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your classic 4WD. Engineered for vehicles with 2-3 inches of rear lift, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and shock fade during off-road use. By balancing firm control with smooth street manners, the RS5000X ensures your vintage Jeep or Land Cruiser remains stable and comfortable across varying terrains.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide improved handling to ensure a smooth ride on uneven surfaces.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent damping performance under load.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: Heavy-duty piston rod construction provides increased structural integrity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the shock rod and oil seal to ensure protection against debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have 2-3 inches of rear lift installed to ensure the piston operates within its optimal range.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger body and gas pressurization, which prevents the “fading” feeling common in standard shocks when driving over washboard roads or rough trails.

Do I need to purchase boots separately?
No, these Rancho RS5000X shocks include protective red boots to keep the internal seals safe from dirt and rocks.
