Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1986-1993 Nissan Hardbody 4WD

Part Number: RS55188

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Nissan Hardbody. Engineered to handle the increased demands of a 2.5-inch lift, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes harshness while maintaining firm control over uneven terrain. The durable construction is specifically designed to provide consistent damping and dent resistance, ensuring a smooth and reliable street-to-trail transition.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve base provides a progressive engagement to ensure smooth ride quality during both low and high-speed piston travel.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping performance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod provides a hardened surface finish to ensure long-term seal integrity and corrosion resistance.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides reduced deflection to ensure more precise steering response and road feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that have already been modified with a 2.5-inch lift kit.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning properly.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, these Rancho RS5000X shocks include protective red dust boots to shield the piston rod from debris and contaminants.
