Product Details

This is the Rancho RS5000X front shock absorber, part number RS55239, designed specifically for your 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee. If you're looking to improve how your Jeep handles both on the pavement and when you venture off-road, this shock is a solid option. It works to absorb impacts and keep your tires in contact with the ground, which is key for control and a more comfortable ride.

Rancho built these shocks to last. They feature a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod that resists scuffs and corrosion, and the loops where the shock mounts are double-welded for extra strength. Inside, a 35mm sintered iron piston and a low-friction seal help manage the fluid and gas, ensuring quicker rebound and smoother compression. The large twin-tube body is filled with all-weather fluid that can handle extreme temperatures, from -40 to 248°F, helping to keep things cool and maintain consistent performance.

You'll also notice a smoother ride thanks to the polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings, which help soak up harshness. The fluon-banded piston adjusts to changing road conditions, and a custom-tuned Compression Control Valve regulates fluid transfer to absorb impacts without causing flutter. This shock absorber is pressurized with nitrogen gas to 150 PSI, which helps prevent the oil and gas from mixing, reducing fade and foaming during heavy use.
