Rancho Shock Absorber RS5000X (MPN: RS55118)

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 increasing scuffing resistance and protecting against corrosion. Additionally, the full-displaced 35 millimeter bore and 1-3/8 inch diameter sintered iron piston contribute to heightened control and structural integrity, making the RS5000X a reliable choice for demanding driving conditions.
