Overview

The Rancho RS5000X is a gas shock absorber designed to improve on- and off-road handling and performance. It features Rancho's exclusive Cross Tuned technology, which includes a unique rebound valving system and advanced compression phase. The shock absorber is built with a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod for durability and a large twin-tube body for cooler operation.

It also reduces fade with nitrogen gas pressurization to 150 PSI, minimizing air-to-oil mixture. The RS5000X maintains vehicle control with a custom-tuned Compression Control Valve.
