Rancho Shock Absorber RS5000X (MPN: RS55067)

Advanced nitrogen gas charged shock for enhanced vehicle control and performance.

The Rancho RS5000X shock absorber features a patented rebound valving system and an advanced compression phase designed to improve vehicle handling both on and off-road. This innovative shock is nitrogen gas charged, providing consistent performance and reducing the risk of shock fade. The 2-1/4 inch diameter shock body increases fluid capacity, allowing for cooler operation and enhanced control across various terrains and speeds.

Incorporating DRS technology, the RS5000X is engineered with a precisely tuned metal spring and fortified interior construction to minimize body roll and prevent rod overextension. The custom-tuned compression control valve regulates fluid transfer during compression, effectively absorbing impacts without disc flutter. Additionally, the shock's low-friction, self-lubricating seal protects against dirt and debris, ensuring longevity and reliability.

The RS5000X also features a high-strength polyurethane bumper that controls rebound motion during harsh driving conditions. With a robust twin tube design and a strengthened piston rod through a nitro-carburizing process, this shock absorber is built for durability and performance. The glass-filled band enhances smooth operation within the shock absorber cylinder, making it a reliable choice for vehicle-specific applications.

Features

• Features Patented Progressive Rebound And Compression Discs; 35 Millimeter Bore Helps To Provide Heightened Control Of Shock Motion Due Largely To The Expanded Piston Area
• DRS Technology: Precisely Tuned Metal Spring And Fortified Interior Construction To Provide Additional Control, Reduce Body Roll And Prevent Rod Overextension Inside The Shock
• The Tuned Compression Control Valve Is A Custom-Tuned, Clamped Disc Base Valve That Regulates Fluid Transfer During The Shock’s Compression Cycle To Help Absorb Impacts Without Disc Flutter
• Features A 2-1/4 Inch Diameter Shock Body, A Larger Shock Body Allows For Increased Fluid Capacity To Operate Cooler And To Increase Vehicle Control And Performance At Varying Speeds And Terrains
• The Twin Tube, Gas Pressurized Shock Has A Variety Of Advantages Including Minimizing Air-To-Oil Mixture That Can Cause Foaming And Shock Fade
• Every RS5000X Shock Piston Rod Is Strengthened Through A Nitro-Carburizing Process; The Sintering Process Forms Objects From Powders Using Atomic Diffusion
• Has A High-Strength, Polyurethane Bumper That Helps Control The Rebound Motion During Harsh Driving Conditions
• The Low-Friction, Self-Lubricating Seal Provides An Extra Layer Of Defense Against Dirt And Debris
• Glass-Filled Band Offers Incredibly Smooth Operation Within The Shock Absorber Cylinder Due To Fluon, A Slippery Glass And Plastic Material
