Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Lift Shocks for 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra

Part Number: RS55188

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for the Nissan Xterra. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with a large 2.25-inch body, these shocks offer increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during off-road use. This specific configuration is optimized for vehicles with a 2.5-inch lift, ensuring the piston remains within its ideal stroke range for maximum comfort and control.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent comfort on washboard roads.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Nitrogen gas charging reduces aeration and foaming provides immediate response to ensure stability in varying terrain.
• 2.25-inch Shock Body: An oversized outer tube increases oil capacity provides better heat dissipation to ensure fade-free performance during extended trail rides.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Nissan Xterra?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly on a vehicle that already has a 2.5-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the internal piston movement remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Does this include all four shocks for my vehicle?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55188_2xRS55116) includes a complete set of four shocks to cover both the front and rear of your 2000-2004 Nissan Xterra.
