Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1947-1962 Jeep Jeepster 4WD

Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your classic Jeepster. Specifically engineered for vehicles at stock ride height, these shocks utilize a unique progressive engagement valving system to balance on-road smoothness with off-road durability. The twin-tube gas pressurized design ensures consistent performance by reducing aeration, making it an ideal solution for restoring ride quality to vintage utility vehicles.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique valving system provides a progressive engagement curve to ensure smooth comfort on pavement and controlled damping on rough terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen gas-charged 2.25-inch body reduces fluid aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during sustained cycling.
• Protective Boot: An included heavy-duty poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Piston Seal: A specialized reinforced seal provides a consistent transition between the piston and pressure tube to ensure maximum durability under extreme temperatures.
