Product Description

The Rancho RS55168 RS5000X front shock is a direct-fit performance shock designed for 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ 4WD vehicles. Built with RS5000X gas-charged twin-tube design and Progressive Engagement valving, this shock delivers improved ride comfort and handling over stock dampers, especially on varied terrain. Its tuned compression control and enlarged body provide reliable damping performance, while the 0-2.5" lift compatibility makes it suitable for lightly lifted Wrangler YJ suspensions without requiring shock relocation brackets.

Constructed with a durable nitro-carburized piston rod, sintered iron piston, and protective dust boot, the RS55168 is built to withstand everyday use and help reduce wear from debris. Sold individually, this shock upgrades front suspension performance and enhances control for both on- and off-road driving.
