This proprietary process developed by the ride engineers at Rancho will elevate the overall handling and performance of your vehicle on and off-road. Each RS5000X shock is gas pressurized to 150 PSI.* The twin tube, gas pressurized shock has a variety of advantages including minimizing air-to-oil mixture that can cause foaming and shock fade. Gas pressurization also provides a mild boost of spring rate to the vehicle. The RS5000X series features a 2-1/4-inch diameter shock body. A larger shock body allows for increased fluid capacity to operate cooler and to increase vehicle control and performance at varying speeds and terrains. The RS5000X series combines a larger shock body with all-weather fluid, allowing the shock to withstand internal temperatures between -40 and 248 degrees Fahrenheit. The Rancho RS5000X series design includes patented progressive rebound and compression discs. At lower speeds or in the earlier stages of the shock's travel, an eccentric disc in the valve shim stacks will engage the valving at lower frequencies, helping to control the energy of motion as the cycle of the shock increases or decreases in its action. When hitting a pothole, off-road trail obstacle or similar activity, Rancho's Progressive Engagement Valving allows for early flow of fluid, helping to reduce harsh initial impacts and to control the flow of fluid in a progressive, gradual manner through the valving. During on- or off-road driving activities like washboarding or when travelling a rough fire road, the early flow of fluid helps to minimize a "rough" ride as the piston movement is able to glide through the initial travel motion of the shock with minimal ground impact or force. If needed, the Progressive Engagement Valving will further engage to maintain control and stability.

Save your money. Just add a little more and buy a better product. These made the ride on my 2014 Rubicon with 3 1/2 " lift worse than it was with the factory shocks. They look ok but that's the only positive I can take away from my purchase. I should have went with the Bilsteins or Fox. Rancho used to make a good product 30 years ago when I was lifting trucks. Maybe because the market back then was so slim. Too many choices out there now to ever buy these.

These live up to their name!Easy switch, changed out my rough country after 60k miles on them, and switched the shocks and stabilizer! Excellent product and fast shipment

These were advertised as fitting up to a 2 in lift. I'm ashamed to admit I don't know whether my Jeep is lifted. (I bought it used and haven't really looked.) I was also concerned by some reviews complaining of poor fit and difficulty installing, especially the front passenger side. But overall, the reviews were good enough that I decided to order them. First problem was I only received the front shocks. A query to Amazon confirmed the rear shocks were coming separately. Extremely quick response from the company there! (As an aside, the Haynes and Chilton manuals are virtually useless for Jeeps. They almost never match what's on my Jeep, and I've had two. That was the case here; the shocks indicated in the manual were not the shocks on my jeep.) Anyway, the shaft on the front shocks is visibly thicker (therefore should be stronger) than the old shocks. They fit perfectly. On the front shocks, there is very little clearance between the top pf the shaft and the wheel well. I installed the left one first and connected the bottom first. I then had to compress the shaft in order to get clearance to put on the upper bushing. I installed the right shock upper end first, which made it much easier to get the bushing, et cetera on. Overall very pleased.
