Rancho RS7MT 2.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1976-1981 Jeep CJ5, CJ7 4WD

Part Number: RS77118

Summary: The Rancho RS7MT series is engineered for high-performance handling and rapid heat dissipation on both the Jeep CJ5 and CJ7. Utilizing a specialized monotube design with a nitrogen gas charge, these shocks provide the precision response required to eliminate aeration during aggressive off-road maneuvers. Configured specifically for 2.5 inches of rear lift, they ensure your classic Jeep maintains optimal ride height and stability across varying terrains.

Features

• Monotube Construction: A high-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a lightning-fast damping response to ensure consistent control over washboard surfaces.
• Internal Floating Piston: The physical separation of gas and oil provides fade-free performance to ensure the shock maintains its valving integrity during long trail rides.
• Hardened Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty piston rod provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• OE-Style Mounts: Precision-engineered end fittings provide a direct-fit installation to ensure a secure connection to the factory chassis points.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep 2.5 inches?
No, these shocks are designed to be used on Jeeps that already have a 2.5-inch suspension lift installed. Shocks control the movement of the suspension but do not create lift height themselves.

What is the benefit of the Monotube design over the stock shocks?
The RS7MT Monotube design reacts faster to road inputs and dissipates heat much more efficiently than standard shocks, preventing the “fading” or softening feel during off-road use.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS77118) includes a pair of two rear shocks to complete the rear axle of your vehicle.
