Rancho RS5000X Series Front Shock Absorber for 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ (RS55255)

Fits 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ models including SE, Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, X, and Unlimited.

The Rancho RS5000X RS55255 front shock absorber is engineered to provide precise handling and control for both on-road comfort and off-road capability. Built around a large twin-tube body, this gas-pressurized shock features Rancho’s exclusive Cross Tuned technology and Progressive Engagement Valving (PEV). This system is custom-tuned for the Jeep TJ chassis to reduce initial impact harshness at low speeds while maintaining firm control during high-speed compression and rebound.

• Durable Construction: Built with a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs and corrosion, along with double-welded loops at high-stress areas.
• Advanced Valving: A 35mm sintered iron piston and fluon-banded seal ensure structural integrity and consistent responsiveness to changing road conditions.
• Thermal Stability: Filled with all-weather fluid designed to withstand internal temperatures ranging from -40 to 248°F, reducing fade during extended cycles.
• Nitrogen Charged: Pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixture, preventing foaming and damping performance loss.
• Protection Included: Comes standard with a polyvinyl protective boot and rubber bushings to absorb ride harshness.
