Product Description

The Rancho RS55241 rear shock absorber from the RS5000X series is engineered to improve the ride quality and control on lifted Jeep Wrangler and TJ vehicles with approximately a 2.5" rear suspension lift. Featuring advanced Progressive Engagement Valving and a tuned Compression Control Valve, RS55241 delivers smoother damping response over bumps and rough terrain while maintaining vehicle stability on and off road.

Built with a gas-charged twin-tube design, a durable nitro-carburized piston rod, and a full-displaced piston, this shock offers reliable performance and long service life. Rubber bushings and a protective boot help reduce vibration and protect internal components. Perfect for Jeep owners upgrading lifted rear suspension or replacing worn stock shocks, the RS55241 installs using factory mounting points and pairs well with Rancho front shocks for balanced suspension performance.
