Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Lift Shocks for 1975-1984 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 4WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series provides a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressure solution for the classic Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Engineered to replace aged factory components, these shocks utilize a unique cross-tuned valve system to provide smooth street comfort while maintaining rugged durability for off-road excursions. Configured for vehicles with a 2-3 inch lift, they ensure the suspension remains controlled and stable across varied terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide improved handling to ensure consistent ride quality on both pavement and trails.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure the shock maintains damping force during spirited driving.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against rock chips and corrosion.
• Protective Boot Included: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical shield for the oil seal to ensure a longer service life in dusty or muddy environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Toyota Land Cruiser?
No, these shocks do not provide lift. They are specifically designed and valved to work on vehicles that have already been modified with a 2-3 inch suspension lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; even if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Are the boots required for installation?
While the shocks will function without them, we highly recommend installing the included boots to protect the chrome piston rods from debris that can cause premature seal failure.
