Rancho RS5000X 2-3″ Lift Shocks for 1941-1963 Jeep MB, M38 4WD

Part Number: 2xRS55119_2xRS55113_n797

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for classic Jeep and utility applications. Engineered to handle the unique demands of 2-3 inches of lift, these shocks utilize a progressive engagement valving system to minimize harshness during initial impacts. This configuration is ideal for owners of legacy Willys and AM General models seeking a balance between rugged durability and smooth street performance.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a soft response during low-velocity movements to ensure a comfortable ride on paved surfaces.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under load.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability in off-road environments.
• Self-Lubricating Seal: A specialized wiper seal provides a barrier against dirt and debris to ensure the internal hydraulic fluid remains uncontaminated.
