Rancho RS5000X Nitrogen Gas Charged Shock Absorber (MPN: RS55785)

Advanced shock technology for improved vehicle handling and performance.

The Rancho RS5000X is a nitrogen gas charged shock absorber designed to enhance vehicle handling both on and off-road. Featuring a patented rebound valving system, this shock absorber provides superior control and stability through its progressive engagement valving. The precision-tuned compression control valve works in harmony with the vehicle's dynamics, ensuring optimal performance across various terrains and speeds.

Constructed with an enlarged 2-1/4 inch twin tube body, the RS5000X allows for increased fluid capacity, which helps maintain cooler operation and improves overall vehicle control. The gas pressurization minimizes air-to-oil mixture, reducing the risk of foaming and shock fade, while also providing a slight boost in spring rate. The 16 millimeter nitro-carburized rod enhances durability, offering increased resistance to scuffing and corrosion.

With a full-displaced 35 millimeter bore and a 1-3/8 inch diameter sintered iron piston, the RS5000X ensures heightened control of shock motion. The inclusion of a rebound bumper significantly reduces wear and tear during driving, while the glass-filled, Fluon banded piston allows for smoother travel and greater responsiveness to changing road conditions. This shock absorber is a reliable choice for those seeking to improve their vehicle's performance.
