Rancho RS5000X 0-1.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1983-1986 Nissan Pickup 4WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the entry-level shock absorber by utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design to enhance ride quality on both street and trail. Engineered for the 1983-1986 Nissan Pickup and specialized FJ-9 models, these shocks feature a massive 2.25-inch body for increased fluid capacity and cooler operation. By implementing Rancho’s Progressive Engagement Valving, these units provide a smooth, comfortable ride during normal cruising while maintaining firm control when encountering rough terrain or heavy loads.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal shim stacks provide early flow of fluid at low speeds to ensure a smooth street ride and reduced harshness.
• 2.25-inch Shock Body: A larger outer diameter provides increased oil capacity to ensure consistent damping performance by dissipating heat more efficiently.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging minimizes aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free performance.
• Sintered Iron Piston: A 35mm heavy-duty piston provides increased structural integrity to ensure long-term durability under off-road stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this shock create 1.5 inches of lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles with 0 to 1.5 inches of rear lift to ensure the piston operates within its optimal travel range.

Is this a monotube or twin-tube design?
The RS5000X is a premium twin-tube gas pressurized shock, designed to provide a balance between rugged off-road durability and a comfortable daily commute.

What is Progressive Engagement Valving?
It is a patented internal valving system that reacts to the speed of the impact, providing softer damping for small bumps and firmer resistance for larger obstacles.
