Rancho RS5000X Nitrogen Gas Charged Shock Absorber (MPN: RS55222)

Advanced shock technology for improved vehicle handling and performance.

The Rancho RS5000X Nitrogen Gas Charged Shock Absorber features a patented rebound valving system that enhances vehicle handling both on and off-road. This shock absorber is designed with a tuned compression control valve, allowing for optimal performance by harmonizing the shock's motion with the vehicle's dynamics. The enlarged 2-1/4 inch twin tube body increases fluid capacity, which helps maintain cooler operation and improves control across various terrains and speeds.

Gas pressurization minimizes air-to-oil mixture, reducing the risk of foaming and shock fade, while providing a slight boost in spring rate. The 16 millimeter nitro-carburized rod enhances durability by increasing scuffing resistance and protecting against corrosion. Additionally, the full-displaced 35 millimeter bore and 1-3/8 inch diameter sintered iron piston contribute to heightened control and structural integrity, ensuring reliable performance under diverse driving conditions.

The RS5000X also includes a rebound bumper that reduces wear during both on and off-road driving, and a glass-filled, Fluon banded piston for smoother travel and responsiveness. This shock absorber is a single unit, designed for semi-universal applications, and comes equipped with necessary hardware and shock boots for installation.
