Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1953-1975 Jeep CJ5, CJ6 4WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your classic Jeep or FJ-9. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks provide the necessary damping for vehicles configured with a 2-3 inch front lift. By mitigating the harshness often found in vintage leaf-spring applications, the RS5000X ensures a smooth street feel while maintaining the ruggedness required for off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent comfort on varied terrain.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge reduces aeration and foaming provides rapid response times to ensure maximum tire-to-road contact.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and heat dissipation to ensure fade-free performance during extended use.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against debris and moisture to ensure the longevity of the polished chrome piston rod.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks provide my Jeep with a lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate vehicles that already have a 2-3 inch lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the internal piston remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55113) includes two front shocks to complete the front axle of your vehicle.
