Rancho Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:RS55255
$90.99
Help improve handling on the road and on the trail with the Rancho RS5000X Suspension Shock Absorber RS55255, a direct-fit front damper for the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ and 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler. This Rancho shock absorber is built around Rancho's exclusive Cross Tuned technology, pairing a specialized rebound valving system with an advanced compression phase to help improve overall handling and performance on and off road.
- Progressive Engagement Valving: custom-tuned for the application to help reduce initial low-speed impacts and minimize a rough ride.
- Strong construction: 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.
- Twin-tube body: filled with all-weather fluid for cooler operation and rated to withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248°F.
- Reduced fade: nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixing, foaming, and damping fade.
A polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb ride harshness, while the fluon-banded piston enhances responsiveness to changing road conditions for a smoother ride. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Front shocks are best replaced as a pair for balanced ride control.
