Rancho RS5000X 3-4″ Lift Shocks for 1961-1971 International Scout 80, 800
Part Number: RS55113
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to enhance the ride quality of your International Scout 80 or 800. Designed for vehicles with 3 to 4 inches of lift, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide a significant upgrade over factory dampers by reducing harshness during initial impacts. The durable construction is engineered to withstand off-road debris while maintaining a smooth, controlled feel for street driving.
Features
- Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a soft ride during slow speeds and firms up instantly during high-speed impacts to ensure consistent vehicle control.
- Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping response to ensure reduced aeration and foaming.
- Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical shield for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against mud and rocks.
- Glass-Filled Fluon Banded Piston: A specialized piston coating provides a smoother stroke and better heat resistance to ensure reliable performance under heavy cycling.
