Part Number: RS55068

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series is engineered to provide enhanced durability and smooth street comfort for your Jeep Wrangler JL. Utilizing a patented Progressive Engagement Valving system, these shocks reduce harsh impacts and minimize body roll during cornering. Specifically configured for 3.5 inches of rear lift, they ensure your lifted Jeep maintains optimal ride quality on and off the road.

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 aggressive maneuvers.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: The 2.25-inch diameter shock body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and strength to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the oil seal to ensure debris and rocks do not damage the piston rod.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?

Why is an aftermarket driveshaft required?
With 29.74 inches of extended length, these shocks allow for significant suspension droop. An aftermarket driveshaft is required to prevent binding or contact with the exhaust and crossmember at full extension.

How many shocks are included in this SKU?
This SKU includes 2 rear shocks, providing a complete solution for the rear axle of your vehicle.
