Rancho RS5000X 0-1″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1983-1991 Mitsubishi Montero

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned valve system to significantly improve the ride quality of your leaf-sprung Mitsubishi Montero. Designed for durability and smooth street comfort, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide a consistent damping response whether you are on the pavement or navigating light trails. By effectively managing the rebound and compression cycles, the RS5000X eliminates the harshness typically associated with older utility suspensions.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve calibration provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth ride over varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: Pressurized gas charge minimizes air-to-oil mixture (aeration) to ensure fade-free performance and immediate response.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
