Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1976-1983 Jeep Wagoneer 4WD

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to deliver a smooth, controlled ride for your Jeep Wagoneer. Designed for vehicles with 2-3 inches of rear lift, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks provide exceptional durability and dent resistance during off-road use. By minimizing aeration and shock fade, the RS5000X ensures consistent performance whether you are navigating rugged trails or commuting on the highway.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of damping force to ensure a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining control during large impacts.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent performance under high-duty cycles.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and physical protection for the inner pressure tube to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: An included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the oil seal remains free of debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep Wagoneer?
No, these shocks do not provide lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have 2-3 inches of rear lift installed to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.

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

Does this include all necessary hardware?
Yes, this pair of shocks includes the required bushings and any necessary mounting hardware for a standard installation on the specified vehicles.
