What makes the RS5000X shock absorber handle extreme temperatures?

The large twin-tube body is filled with an all-weather fluid that allows for cooler operation and can withstand internal temperatures ranging from -40 to 248°F. This helps maintain consistent performance in various climates.

How does this shock absorber help reduce ride harshness?

It features a polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings that work to absorb impacts and smooth out the ride. The fluon-banded piston also enhances responsiveness to changing road conditions.

What is the benefit of the nitrogen gas pressurization?

The shock absorber is pressurized with nitrogen gas to 150 PSI. This helps minimize air-to-oil mixture, which in turn reduces damping performance fade and foaming, ensuring more consistent damping.

Product Details

The 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod on this Rancho RS5000X shock absorber is built to resist scuffs and corrosion, giving you a solid foundation for improved suspension performance. This shock is designed to handle a wide range of conditions, from daily driving to off-road adventures, with its advanced valving and construction.

Inside, you'll find a large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid that stays functional from -40 to 248°F, helping to keep internal temperatures down and maintain consistent damping. The fluon-banded piston works with polyurethane rebound bumpers and rubber bushings to absorb impacts and smooth out the ride, while the Progressive Engagement Valving helps reduce initial impacts at low speeds. Rancho's Cross Tuned technology and custom-tuned Compression Control Valve work together to improve overall handling and control by regulating fluid transfer and preventing disc flutter.

This shock absorber is pressurized with nitrogen gas to 150 PSI, which helps minimize air-to-oil mixing to reduce damping performance fade and foaming, ensuring more reliable performance when you need it. It comes with Rancho’s Limited Lifetime Warranty for added peace of mind.
