Rancho RS5000X Shock Absorber

The Rancho RS5000X RS55069 is a suspension shock absorber built for drivers who want more controlled handling on pavement and improved response off-road. Its valving strategy and compression-focused design help the shock react more consistently to changing road surfaces.

Compatible With select Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep applications that use the listed mounting style, this Rancho shock is a direct-fit suspension replacement for vehicles needing a loop bushing and sleeve mount configuration.

Key Features

• Rancho RS5000X series shock absorber for on- and off-road use
• Exclusive valving system for more controlled damping response
• Advanced compression functionality for improved ride control
• Extended length: 24.05 in.; compressed length: 17.63 in.
• Travel length: 6.42 in. for suspension movement management
• Upper and lower mounts: LS43 loop bushing and sleeve mount
• Dust shield included; plastic dust shield material
• Extended bumper stop included

Product Details

Rancho RS5000X RS55069 is engineered as a suspension shock absorber with a 2.251 in. reserve tube diameter and a 14 mm sleeve ID mounting setup. The RS5000X line focuses on controlled compression behavior and stable damping response, making it a practical choice for daily driving, towing-related suspension movement, and light off-road use. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Use RS55069 when replacing a worn shock on vehicles that require the same loop bushing and sleeve mount design. The Rancho RS5000X line is built for drivers looking to restore suspension control without changing the factory mounting layout.

Common Uses

• Clunking or loose-feeling rear or front suspension from a worn shock
• Excessive bouncing after bumps or dips
• Reduced body control during braking, cornering, or uneven-road driving
• Loss of damping performance on higher-mileage suspension systems
• Need for a direct replacement shock with the correct loop mount style

Installation Notes

Verify mount style, compressed length, and extended length before installation. RS55069 uses LS43 upper and lower loop bushing and sleeve mounts with a 14 mm sleeve ID and 1-9/16 in. sleeve overall length. Confirm vehicle-specific suspension dimensions and inspect related bushings, sleeves, and mounting points for wear before fitting the new shock.

Quality Assurance

Rancho RS5000X shocks are backed by Ranchos suspension engineering focus and are built to meet the demands of street and trail use. Part number RS55069 is manufactured for consistent damping performance and repeatable fitment in the specified applications.
