Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Acura SLX.

• Gas Pressurized Design: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge minimizes air-to-oil mixture (aeration) to ensure rapid response and fade-free performance.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris and moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Acura SLX?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are designed to work with vehicles at the factory ride height (0″ of lift).

Is the price for one shock or two?
This specific SKU (2xRS55215_n1) includes a pair of shocks for the rear of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the gas charging in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge puts pressure on the hydraulic fluid, which prevents bubbles from forming. This ensures the shock maintains its damping force even during rapid movement on rough roads.
