Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1971-1980 International Scout & Land Cruiser FJ40

Part Number: RS55118

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to deliver superior ride quality for lifted International Scouts and Toyota Land Cruisers. These shocks address the common issue of harsh rebound on older leaf-sprung vehicles by implementing a progressive engagement valving system. Whether navigating fire roads or daily driving, the RS5000X provides the durability and dent resistance required for rugged off-road environments while maintaining smooth street comfort.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a soft initial response that firms up under heavy loads to ensure controlled handling during aggressive maneuvers.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent oil-to-gas interface to ensure reduced aeration and fade during sustained cycling.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Banded Piston: A specialized piston seal provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure rapid response to road irregularities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate vehicles that have already been modified with 2 to 3 inches of rear lift components.

What is the benefit of the included shock boots?
The protective boots shield the nitro-carburized piston rod from rock chips, mud, and road salt, which prevents premature seal failure and extends the life of the shock.

Are these shocks sold as a single unit or a pair?
This specific SKU (2xRS55118) includes 2 shocks, providing a complete solution for the rear axle of your vehicle.
