Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for US Postal FJ-9 2WD
Part Number: RS55113
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for the US Postal FJ-9. Engineered for durability and consistent street performance, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and foaming. This ensures a smooth, controlled ride for daily postal routes while maintaining the ruggedness required for high-duty cycles.
Features
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide improved handling to ensure stability during frequent stop-and-go maneuvers.
- Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced fade during extended operation.
- 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
- Self-Lubricating Seal: The high-temperature fluid seal provides a consistent barrier against contaminants to ensure reliable performance under heavy loads.
