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

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve ride quality on your Nissan Hardbody. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 2.5-inch rear lift, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks provide the ideal balance of on-road comfort and off-road durability. The increased fluid capacity of the 2.25-inch body ensures cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping performance during heavy-duty use or trail sessions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of damping force to ensure smooth street comfort and firm control during off-road impacts.
• Dynamic Rebound Spring (DRS) Technology: A high-strength internal plush mechanism provides reduced vehicle body roll to ensure stability during sudden maneuvers or uneven terrain.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A 150 PSI gas charge provides minimized aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free performance.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide maximum structural integrity to ensure long-term durability under extreme stress.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Nissan Hardbody?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a vehicle that has already been equipped with 2.5 inches of rear lift components.

How do these handle off-road heat compared to standard shocks?
The RS5000X features a 2.25-inch diameter body which holds more oil than standard 2-inch shocks, allowing it to stay cooler and maintain damping consistency longer during repetitive cycling.

What is the benefit of the included red boots?
The protective boots shield the shock piston rod from rocks, mud, and debris, which prevents seal damage and extends the overall life of the shock absorber.
