Rancho 97-06 Jeep TJ Rear RS5000X Shock

Rancho is known for making tough suspension parts, and their RS5000X line is a popular choice for Jeep owners looking for a solid upgrade. This rear shock absorber is specifically tuned for your 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ, aiming to give you better control whether you're on the pavement or hitting the trails.

This shock uses a unique valving system that helps manage fluid transfer to absorb impacts smoothly. It features a large twin-tube body filled with fluid that can handle extreme temperatures, from -40 to 248°F, which helps reduce performance fade. The 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod is built to resist scuffs and corrosion, and the double-welded loops at stress points add to its durability. Inside, a 35mm sintered iron piston and a fluon-banded piston work together to improve responsiveness to changing road conditions, contributing to a smoother ride and better vehicle control.

You'll also find a low-friction seal that helps keep the gas and oil where they belong, aiding in quicker rebound. The shock comes with a protective polyvinyl boot and uses polyurethane rebound bumpers and rubber bushings to help absorb harshness. Rancho backs this shock with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, so you can install it with confidence.
