Rancho RS5000X 0-2.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1987-1995 Nissan Pathfinder

Part Number: RS55116

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative CrossTune Technology valve system to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Nissan Pathfinder. Designed for vehicles with 0-2.5 inches of rear lift, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks feature a large 2.25-inch body to increase fluid capacity and reduce internal heat. This configuration ensures a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the rugged durability required for light off-road excursions and utility use.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique base valve system provides a progressive engagement throughout the piston travel to ensure consistent damping across varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: The 2.25-inch diameter outer tube provides increased oil capacity to reduce shock fade and ensure long-term durability.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material reduces NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness) to provide a quieter and more comfortable cabin experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Nissan Pathfinder?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for vehicles already equipped with 0 to 2.5 inches of rear lift height.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas pressure?
The low-pressure nitrogen gas charge helps minimize the aeration of the shock fluid (foaming), which prevents performance fade during repetitive cycles.

Are the protective boots included?
Yes, this pair includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rod from debris and contaminants.
