Rancho Shock Absorber RS5000X (MPN: RS55012)

Advanced nitrogen gas charged shock for enhanced vehicle performance

The Rancho RS5000X shock absorber features a patented rebound valving system that optimizes both handling and performance for on and off-road driving. This innovative design includes a tuned compression control valve that harmonizes the shock's motion with the vehicle, ensuring stability and control across various terrains. The enlarged 2-1/4 inch twin tube body increases fluid capacity, allowing for cooler operation and improved vehicle control at different 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 offering increased scuffing resistance and corrosion protection. Additionally, the full-displaced 35 millimeter bore and 1-3/8 inch diameter sintered iron piston contribute to heightened control of shock motion, making the RS5000X a reliable choice for demanding driving conditions.

The shock also includes a rebound bumper that reduces wear and tear during use, and a glass-filled, Fluon banded piston that ensures smoother travel and responsiveness to changing road conditions. With its robust construction and advanced features, the Rancho RS5000X is designed to meet the needs of serious off-road enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike.
