Rancho RS5000X 3.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2018-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL 4WD

Part Number: RS55067

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted Jeep Wrangler JL models. Engineered for 3.5 inches of front lift, these shocks utilize a progressive engagement valving system to balance smooth highway cruising with rugged off-road durability. The twin-tube gas-pressurized design is specifically tuned to handle the increased unsprung weight of larger tires and aftermarket wheels while maintaining a comfortable cabin environment.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure stability during high-speed cornering and controlled dampening on rough terrain.
• Nitrogen Gas Charging: High-pressure gas displacement provides a consistent response and prevents oil foaming to ensure reliable performance during extended off-road use.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is damaged.
• Protective Boot: The included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the seal remains free from trail debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep by 3.5 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to work with an existing 3.5-inch suspension lift kit.

Why is an aftermarket driveshaft required for this application?
At 27.14 inches of extension, the increased down-travel can cause the factory front driveshaft to contact the transmission crossmember or exhaust, necessitating an aftermarket high-clearance driveshaft.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, based on the SKU configuration, this package includes 2 front shocks for a complete front-axle installation.
