Take the harshness out of every trail and highway mile with the Rancho RS5000X Suspension Shock Absorber (RS55241), a rear-position damper that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2006 Jeep TJ and 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler. This Rancho shock absorber is built around the brand's exclusive Cross Tuned technology to sharpen on- and off-road handling.
A polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings absorb ride harshness, while a low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound. For even ride quality, replace the rear Wrangler shock absorber as a matched pair. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
