Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Lift Shocks for 1971-1980 International Scout, Scout II, Travelall
Part Number: RS55115
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a specialized progressive engagement valving system to enhance the ride quality of your lifted International Scout. Designed to handle the rigors of both daily driving and off-road excursions, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks provide a significant upgrade over factory units. By minimizing aeration and foaming, the RS5000X ensures consistent damping performance and durability for vehicles with 2-3 inches of suspension lift.
Features
- Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides a soft ride during initial movement and firmer control during aggressive impacts to ensure a balanced driving experience.
- Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to lower internal operating temperatures and ensure fade-free performance.
- Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
- Self-Lubricating Seal: A low-friction multi-lip seal provides a tight pressure barrier against dirt and debris to ensure a long service life for the shock absorber.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks lift my International Scout?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and extended in length to function correctly with vehicles that already have a 2-3 inch suspension lift installed.
Are the boots included with these shocks?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from rocks, mud, and debris.
What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner working tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
