Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ

Part Number: RS55241

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to significantly improve off-road handling while maintaining a smooth street ride. Designed specifically for the Jeep Wrangler TJ, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks provide the durability needed for trail use and the dent resistance required for rugged environments. Engineered to accommodate a 2.5-inch rear lift, they offer a balanced solution for enthusiasts seeking reliable performance and increased oil capacity for better heat dissipation.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a gradual transition of fluid to ensure smooth ride quality during daily driving.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended trail use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and strength to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides reduced vibration transfer to ensure a quieter and more controlled cabin experience.
