Rancho 84-01 Jeep Cherokee Rear RS5000X Shock

If you're looking to improve how your 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee handles both on the pavement and out on the trail, consider this Rancho RS5000X rear shock absorber. This shock is built to give you better control and a smoother ride by using a unique valving system that adjusts to changing conditions.

Rancho uses a large, twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid, which helps keep the shock cooler during operation, even in extreme temperatures from -40 to 248°F. Inside, a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod resists scuffs and corrosion, while a 35mm sintered iron piston adds structural strength. The application-specific piston and custom-tuned Compression Control Valve work together to manage fluid flow, absorbing impacts effectively and maintaining consistent shock motion control. This means you get a more responsive feel and less of that jarring sensation on rough roads.

To help minimize harshness, it includes a polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings, and a fluon-banded piston helps it react quickly to road changes. The shock is also nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI, which helps prevent the oil and gas from mixing, reducing performance fade and foaming during heavy use. This shock comes with Rancho’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
