Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1971-1980 International Scout, Scout II, Travelall
Part Number: RS55115
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to provide exceptional durability and smooth street comfort for your International Harvester. Engineered with a unique valving system, these shocks mitigate harsh impacts and road vibrations, making them an ideal solution for daily driving and light off-road use. Configured for 2-3 inches of front lift, they ensure your classic Scout or Travelall maintains proper suspension travel and ride quality after a height increase.
Features
- Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression and rebound circuit provides a smoother transition between damping cycles to ensure consistent ride quality on varied terrain.
- Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during sustained cycles.
- Twin-Tube Body: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch outer tube provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure the internal piston remains functional even in harsh environments.
- Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm diameter hardened rod provides superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term seal life.
