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

Part Number: RS55116

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping. Engineered for the 1975-1984 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks are designed to handle the rigors of off-road trails while maintaining a smooth, controlled ride on the street. The increased fluid capacity and rugged construction ensure consistent performance and durability for vehicles configured with 2-3 inches of rear lift.

Features

• Progressively Engaged Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a transition from soft to firm damping to ensure optimal control across varying terrain.
• Dynamic Rebound Disc (DRD): A specialized internal plunger provides additional oil flow restriction during high-velocity impacts to ensure maximum bottom-out protection.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch twin-tube diameter provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended off-road use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charge: Pressurized gas displacement provides resistance against oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent damping force in demanding environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Toyota FJ40?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically length-tuned to be compatible with vehicles that have already been modified with a 2-3 inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the Twin-Tube design?
The twin-tube design provides an outer reserve tube that protects the inner working cylinder from rock chips or dents, ensuring the shock remains functional even in harsh debris-heavy environments.

Are the red dust boots included?
Yes, these shocks come standard with Rancho’s signature red protective boots to keep the piston rod clear of dirt, mud, and contaminants.
