Rancho RS5000X 3.5″ Lift Shocks for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ

Part Number: RS55255

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your lifted 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ. Engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with a 3.5-inch lift, these shocks solve the common issue of harshness associated with oversized tires and modified geometries. By utilizing a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide smooth street comfort while maintaining the durability required for rugged off-road environments.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression disk stack provides a soft initial response to reduce road harshness to ensure a comfortable daily commute.
• Dynamic Rebound Spring (DRS) Technology: An internal tuned metal spring provides reduced body roll and prevents rod overextension to ensure stability during aggressive maneuvers.
• Large 2.25-inch Body: An increased fluid capacity provides cooler operating temperatures to ensure consistent damping performance under heavy use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty hardened finish provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
