Smooth out every mile with the Rancho RS5000X Suspension Shock Absorber (MPN RS55397), a rear-position damper that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2003-2023 Toyota 4Runner and 2007-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Built around Rancho's exclusive Cross Tuned technology, it pairs a rebound valving system with an advanced compression phase to improve overall handling and performance on and off road.

  • Minimizes rough ride: Progressive Engagement Valving is custom-tuned for each vehicle to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds.
  • Strong and durable: a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod resists scuffs and corrosion, with double-welded loops at stress areas, a 35mm sintered iron piston, and a polyvinyl protective boot.
  • Handles temperature extremes: a large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid runs cooler and withstands internal temperatures from -40 to 248°F.
  • Reduces fade: nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI helps minimize air-to-oil mixing to limit foaming and damping fade.

A polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb ride harshness, while a low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
