Part Number: RS55113

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced Cross-Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Jeepster or Commando. By utilizing a unique gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks provide a smooth, controlled ride that excels in both daily commuting and light off-road applications. Engineered for durability, the RS5000X effectively manages energy transfer to reduce harshness and improve driver comfort on vintage 4WD platforms.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A proprietary valve calibration provides a progressive engagement curve to ensure consistent comfort across varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure sustained damping performance under load.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and physical protection for the internal pressure tube to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and strength to ensure smooth operation throughout the shock’s travel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Jeep?
No, these shocks are designed to work with vehicles at the stock ride height (0″ of lift) and do not provide any lift themselves.

What is the benefit of the gas pressurization in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge keeps the internal oil under pressure, which prevents air bubbles from forming (aeration) during rapid movement, resulting in more consistent damping.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55113_n791) includes a pair of two (2) rear shocks.
