Rancho Shock Absorber RS5000X (MPN: RS55370)

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 engineered to provide a smoother ride and better stability through its progressive engagement valving, which adapts to varying driving conditions. The enlarged 2-1/4 inch twin tube body increases fluid capacity, allowing for cooler operation and enhanced performance across different terrains.

Gas pressurization minimizes air-to-oil mixture, reducing the risk of foaming and shock fade, while also providing a slight boost in spring rate. The 16 millimeter nitro-carburized rod enhances durability and resistance to scuffing and corrosion, ensuring longevity in demanding environments. With a full-displaced 35 millimeter bore and a sintered iron piston, the RS5000X delivers heightened control of shock motion, making it a reliable choice for both casual and serious off-road enthusiasts.

The shock absorber is designed with a white body and red shock boots, adding a distinctive look to your vehicle. It is a single unit with non-adjustable valving, making it a straightforward solution for those seeking improved ride quality without the complexity of adjustable features. The inclusion of a rebound bumper further reduces wear and tear, contributing to the overall durability and performance of the shock absorber.
