Built around Rancho's exclusive Cross Tuned technology — a rebound valving system and advanced compression phase — it's designed to improve overall handling and performance on pavement and off road.
Cross Tuned & Progressive Engagement Valving: custom-tuned for the application to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds and minimize a rough ride.
Strong and durable build: 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 swings: large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid for cooler operation, rated to withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248°F.
Reduced fade: nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixing, plus a Compression Control Valve and low-friction, self-lubricating seal for smoother compression and quicker rebound.
It's a direct-fit rear shock for the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ and 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact vehicle.
