Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1971-1980 International Scout, Scout II, Travelall

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTun technology to provide a versatile damping solution for the International Scout and Travelall platforms. Designed as a high-performance twin-tube upgrade, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that transitions seamlessly from smooth highway cruising to controlled off-road handling. By prioritizing durability and impact absorption, the RS5000X ensures consistent ride quality for vintage utility vehicles operating at stock height.

Features

• CrossTun Technology: A progressive transition valving system provides increased control during high-velocity impacts to ensure consistent damping across varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity and outer-shell durability to ensure internal components remain functional even if the outer body is dented.
• Nitro-Gas Charge: High-pressure nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI provides a reduction in fluid aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Protective Boot: An included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure seal longevity against road debris and moisture.
