Rancho Shock Absorber RS5000X (MPN: RS55112)

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

The Rancho Shock Absorber RS5000X features a patented rebound valving system that significantly improves vehicle handling both on and off-road. This shock absorber is designed with a tuned compression control valve that harmonizes the shock's motion with the vehicle's dynamics, ensuring stability and control across various terrains. The enlarged 2-1/4 inch twin tube body increases fluid capacity, allowing for cooler operation and enhanced performance 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 improved control of shock motion, making this shock absorber a reliable choice for demanding driving conditions.

The Rancho RS5000X is equipped with a rebound bumper that minimizes wear during both on and off-road driving, and features a glass-filled, Fluon banded piston for smoother travel and responsiveness to changing road conditions. This shock absorber is a single unit, designed for easy installation and compatibility with a variety of vehicles.
