Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series is engineered to provide enhanced durability and a refined ride for the Land Rover Defender 90. Utilizing a patented Cross-Tuned technology, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks manage the transition between on-road comfort and off-road stability. Designed for vehicles with 0-1 inches of front lift, they serve as a heavy-duty upgrade over factory units to better handle the rugged demands of classic 4×4 platforms.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive engagement to ensure smooth street handling and consistent damping on rough terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term reliability.
• Gas Pressurization: A 150 PSI nitrogen charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Land Rover?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-tuned to be compatible with vehicles that have 0 to 1 inch of front lift height already installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder is protected, ensuring the shock remains functional.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, based on the SKU configuration, this package includes 2 front shocks to complete the front axle of your vehicle.
