Product Description

The Rancho RS55259 is a rear performance shock absorber from the RS5000X series designed specifically for the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) with stock suspension height. Featuring a gas-charged twin-tube design and advanced Progressive Engagement Valving, this shock helps smooth out impacts while improving handling both on paved roads and light off-road trails. The tuned Compression Control Valve works to absorb bumps and maintain vehicle stability under varying loads and terrain.

Built for durability, the RS55259 includes a nitro-carburized piston rod for corrosion resistance and long service life, along with a large full-displaced piston for consistent fluid control. The protective dust boot and high-quality rubber bushings help minimize noise and vibration while shielding critical components from debris. Ideal for owners replacing worn rear shocks on Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ models, this shock installs easily using factory mounting locations and offers a reliable upgrade over original equipment.
