Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your classic Jeep. Designed for 4WD applications, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks are engineered to handle the unique demands of off-road terrain while maintaining smooth street characteristics. By reducing internal aeration, these shocks provide consistent control and durability for vintage utility vehicles.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve calibration system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining control during heavy impacts.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent performance under high-duty cycles.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the oil seal remains free of debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks are configured for 0 inches of lift and are designed to replace factory-length dampers. They do not provide mechanical lift.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55119) includes 2 shocks for the front position of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the gas charge in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge keeps the shock oil under pressure, which prevents bubbles from forming (aeration) during rapid movement, ensuring your suspension doesn’t get “mushy” during rough drives.
