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

Part Number: RS55188

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series delivers a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design engineered to improve both on-road comfort and off-road durability for your Nissan Hardbody. These shocks feature Rancho’s exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving, which is custom-tuned to provide a smooth street ride while maintaining firm control during trail use. Configured specifically for vehicles with a 2.5-inch lift, this complete set ensures your suspension maintains proper travel and damping performance across varied terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides reduced harshness during initial impacts to ensure a smoother ride over small road imperfections.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure Design: The 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping during extended use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charging: Pressurized gas displacement provides a localized pressure head to ensure minimized aeration and foaming for more predictable handling.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
