Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1961-1971 International Scout 80, 800

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced Cross Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your classic International Scout. Engineered with a unique valving system, these twin-tube shocks provide a smooth, controlled ride on the street while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use. Configured for 0-2 inches of front lift, they ensure your vintage 4×4 or postal vehicle maintains proper suspension travel and stability.

Features

• Cross Tuned Technology: A unique valve base system provides improved pressure handling to ensure consistent damping across varying terrain.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure driver comfort.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Nitrogen gas charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during extended driving.
• Protective Boot: Included Polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate vehicles already equipped with 0-2 inches of front lift.

What is the benefit of the Cross Tuned valving?
It allows for better control during the initial movement of the shock, reducing the harshness often associated with heavy-duty twin-tube designs.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, Rancho RS5000X shocks include red protective boots to shield the shock rod from rocks, mud, and road salt.
