Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1953-1975 Jeep CJ5, CJ6 4WD

Part Number: RS55119

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality for your classic Jeep or AM General utility vehicle. Designed as a high-performance twin-tube solution, these shocks feature a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This configuration is engineered for stock height applications, providing a smooth street ride while maintaining the durability required for light off-road or fleet use.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique valve base design provides a progressive engagement curve to ensure consistent comfort across varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during extended operation.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: A 2.25-inch reserve tube diameter provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and longer service life.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The 16mm specialized rod coating provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure protection against the elements in harsh environments.
