Part Number: RS55068

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for the Jeep Wrangler JL. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with a large 2.25-inch body, these shocks provide increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during off-road excursions. Configured specifically for 4.5 inches of rear lift, they offer the necessary travel and damping control to handle larger tire fitments while maintaining a smooth, compliant feel on the street.

Features

• Crossed Landscape Valve System: Progressive engagement valving provides custom-tuned damping to ensure consistent control across varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: Nitrogen gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during rapid cycling.
• 2.25-inch Shock Body: An oversized outer shell provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower internal temperatures and improved durability.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 4.5-inch rear lift kit to ensure the piston operates within its optimal stroke range.

Why is an aftermarket driveshaft required?
At 4.5 inches of lift, the increased extended length of 29.74 inches creates steep driveline angles that can exceed the limits of the factory CV joints, necessitating a high-angle replacement.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55068_n833) includes 2 shocks for the rear of your Jeep Wrangler JL.
