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

Part Number: RS55256

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design to enhance the ride quality and durability of your lifted Jeep Wrangler TJ. Engineered specifically for vehicles equipped with a 3.5-inch rear lift, these shocks feature CrossTune Technology to provide a consistent, smooth street feel while maintaining rugged off-road control. The twin-tube construction offers superior dent resistance, ensuring that trail debris does not compromise the internal piston travel during aggressive maneuvers.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure comfort on the highway and control on technical trails.
• Twin-Tube Design: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and structural durability to ensure maximum cooling and dent resistance in harsh environments.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging provides an immediate response to surface changes to ensure minimized aeration and shock fade.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides increased tensile strength and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks create 3.5 inches of lift for my Jeep?
No, these shocks are configured for a vehicle that already has a 3.5-inch lift installed; they do not provide the lift height themselves.

Is the twin-tube design better for off-roading?
The twin-tube design is ideal for trail use because the outer tube acts as a shield; even if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner pressure tube remains functional, allowing you to finish your trip.

Do these shocks come with the mounting hardware?
Yes, these include the necessary bushings and the signature Rancho red dust boots to protect the piston rods from debris.
