Product Description

The Rancho RS55260 rear shock absorber from the RS5000X series is engineered specifically for 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WJ) vehicles. Featuring advanced Progressive Engagement Valving and a tuned Compression Control Valve, this shock works to smooth out bumps and reduce harsh impacts while maintaining vehicle stability across a variety of road conditions. Its gas-charged twin-tube design helps deliver consistent damping performance on- and off-road.

Built for durability and long service life, the RS55260 incorporates a nitro-carburized piston rod and a full-displaced piston that work together to resist corrosion and ensure fluid control throughout the shock's travel range. Protective boots and rubber bushings help shield internal components and dampen vibration, making this shock an excellent upgrade or replacement option for Grand Cherokee owners seeking better rear suspension performance with a stock ride height or light rear lift (approximately 0-2").
