Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Lift Shocks for 1961-1971 International Scout 80, 800

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented Progressive Engagement Valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your classic International Scout. This twin-tube gas-pressurized design is engineered to provide a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use. By reducing aeration and shock fade, these shocks ensure consistent damping performance for vehicles configured with 0-2 inches of lift.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of fluid flow to ensure a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining control during heavy impacts.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance in various temperature ranges.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term seal integrity and dent resistance.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides improved vibration dampening to ensure a quiet and stable cabin environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my International Scout?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have 0-2 inches of lift height to ensure proper suspension travel.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for classic vehicles; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t stranded.

Are the boots included with these shocks?
Yes, this full set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from dirt, mud, and road salt.
