Rancho Shock Absorber RS5000X (MPN: RS55116)

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

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, allowing for optimal shock motion that works in harmony with the vehicle's dynamics. The enlarged 2-1/4 inch twin tube body increases fluid capacity, which helps maintain cooler operation and enhances overall vehicle control across various terrains and speeds.

Constructed with a 16 millimeter nitro-carburized rod, the RS5000X offers increased scuffing resistance and protection against corrosion, ensuring long-lasting durability. The full-displaced 35 millimeter bore provides heightened control of shock motion, while the sintered iron piston enhances structural integrity. Additionally, the gas pressurization minimizes air-to-oil mixture, reducing the risk of foaming and shock fade, and offers a mild boost in spring rate for improved performance.

This shock absorber is designed for easy installation and includes shock boots for added protection. With its application-specific valving and robust construction, the Rancho RS5000X is engineered to deliver reliable performance and stability, making it a valuable addition to any vehicle's suspension system.
