Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1971-1980 International Scout, Scout II, Travelall

Part Number: RS55117

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to deliver a smooth, controlled ride for your International Scout or Travelall. Designed as a high-durability twin-tube upgrade, these shocks feature a large 2.25-inch body for increased fluid capacity and cooler operation during extended use. Whether navigating daily commutes or light trails, the gas-pressurized design minimizes aeration to ensure consistent damping performance across all terrains.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between damping stages to ensure a smooth street ride without sacrificing control during sudden impacts.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased oil volume to ensure fade-free performance and consistent cooling under load.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Protective Boot Included: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the rod and seal to ensure protection against road debris and off-road grit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my International Scout?
No, these shocks are designed for vehicles at stock ride height (0″ lift) and do not provide any lift on their own; they are configured to match the travel requirements of factory-height springs.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a much larger 2.25-inch body and progressive valving, which provides better heat dissipation and a more refined ride compared to generic replacement shocks.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU includes 2 shocks for the front of your vehicle.
