Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Lift Shocks for 1986-1994 Nissan Pickup Hardbody 2WD

Part Number: RS55188

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your lifted Nissan Pickup. Engineered with a unique valving system, these shocks mitigate the harshness typically associated with aftermarket lift kits while maintaining excellent off-road control. This complete set is specifically configured for vehicles equipped with a 2.5-inch lift, ensuring the piston operates within its optimal range for both durability and comfort.

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 varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Nitrogen gas charging reduces aeration and shock fade provides a stable damping force to ensure reliable performance during spirited driving.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The hardened rod finish provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
