Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series provides a sophisticated damping solution for the 1993-1999 Land Rover Defender 90, balancing rugged off-road durability with refined street manners. Utilizing a cross-tuned twin-tube design, these shocks are engineered to mitigate harsh impacts and reduce body roll during cornering. This complete set is specifically configured for vehicles at stock height or with up to a 1-inch lift, ensuring optimal piston travel and ride stability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide increased control during high-speed transitions to ensure a smooth, predictable ride on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube body provides consistent damping force and minimizes aeration to ensure reliable performance under heavy cycling.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Piston Seal: A specialized reinforced seal provides a tighter fit between the piston and pressure tube to ensure long-term durability and leak resistance.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened steel rod provides superior structural integrity and resists scuffing to ensure the longevity of the internal seals.
