Product Description

- Cross Tuned technology features exclusive rebound valves and a more aggressive compression phase that improves overall handling and performance on or off the

A ROUGH RIDE IS MINIMIZED - A Progressive Engagement Valving is custom tuned for each vehicle to minimize initial impacts at low speeds and to minimize initial impacts

It features a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs and corrosion, double-welded loops at stress points, and a 35mm sintered iron piston for outstanding structural integrity, as well as a polyvinyl protective boot.

WIL HANDL EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES -- The large twin-tube body filled with an all-weather fluid allows for cooler operation, better handling, and the ability to withstand internal temperatures between -40 and 248°F.

With a polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings to absorb ride harshness and a fluon-banded piston that responds more quickly and smoothly to changing road conditions, this wheel provides an overall smoother ride.

A LOWER FADE RATIO -- Nitrogen gas compressed to 150 PSI minimizes the amount of air to oil mixture, thus reducing damping fading

COMPRESSION CONTROL VALE -- Compression Control Valve is precisely tuned to each vehicle and provides a constant transfer of fluid to absorb impacts without disc flutter and help maintain shock motion control.

Built to last - a self-lubricating, low friction seal holds gas and oil and offers quicker and smoother rebound. The application-specific piston delivers heightened control of shock motion due to its larger surface area.

Questions & Answers

What is the fitment of these shocks on a 2004 Jeep Liberty?

Although I am not quite clear what you mean by your question, you can buy front and back shocks individually or as a pair, depending on how you want to replace If you are on a tight budget, you can replace shocks in pairs, but most of the time shocks are replaced in pairs.

How does it compare to the RS5000x?

Hey, yes, this is part number RS5000X of the Rancho

Can you tell me if this is for one shock or two?

There is no restriction on the number of shocks you can buy, so you can buy shocks either Here is the information you were looking for

Selected User Reviews For Rancho RS5000X RS55265 Shock Absorber

"X" series are shockingly disappointing in their revised form

3/5

The new RS5000"X" shocks look like this. To begin with, I returned them to Rancho (Tenneco) because that is part of their safe and sound guarantee. (See the bottom of the review for this copy). The refund has not yet been received, but I expect to be reimbursed for the labor (I am a professional auto mechanic). The wheels were installed on an aluminum 5-speed transmission and an all-wheel-drive 2005 Silverado 1500 4x4 with a short bed and extended cab. Previous shocks I had installed a few years earlier, but the owner of the vehicle at the time did not want the rear shocks replaced. It was bought from them and I wanted shocks on all four corners of the vehicle. Before I purchased Rancho 5000 for my 2002 Superduty F250 Diesel, I was very happy with the performance and damping of the car. On this truck, that's not the case. Vehicle suspension is fairly light, the chassis a little more flexible, and the torsion bars do not exert much pressure on the control arms since they are connected to the chassis via torsion bars. It was a set of Monroe Relfex shocks from (Tenneco Manufactured) Monroe. Considering that the Ranchos are geared for off-roading, you might expect that it would be more expensive A little more ebb and flow would be felt by road users. No such thing exists. Based on a few tests off the car, the Ranchos had about 1/2 the static dampening My first thought was that since the 5000"X" is supposed to have more advanced valves than the previous generation, it may have contributed to my discomfort. Near the town, they felt ok, but near the highway, they were so seasick that they threw up. It was especially noticeable when driving over an overpass bridge, when coming off of them at highway speeds the truck would waltz up and down for several cycles. Other than that, the finish of the shocks isn't very good. It appears that there is a fair amount of flash on the tubes, some edges have a rusty appearance, the paint looks thin, and the labels appear to have been slapped on randomly. It has been reported that sometimes the boots would not stay on well at the tops of the shocks. For this application, the upper bushings are smaller than the bushings used on both the Reflex shock and the OE It was time to replace them with Bilstein 5100 shocks.

A shock absorber from Rancho, model number RS5000X RS55265

5/5

A Rancho shock is the RS5000X and A Rancho shock is A Bilstein shock originally came with the 04 Chevy Silverado when I purchased it 17 years ago. The RS55265 shocks worked just fine. My new 2020 Silverado has Rancho shocks on it, which I have been enjoying, so I thought it would be great to try them on my 2004. My observation is that the Rancho shocks are not as stiff as the Bilstein shocks, which gives the truck a little more comfort. The O4 Silverado I'm currently driving belongs to my youngest son, having previously been with my three older boys. That'll be the saddest day of my life when it's gone.
