Jeep Grand Cherokee 99-04 4.0L I6
RS55260
Overview:
The Rancho RS5000X Rear Shock is engineered to enhance the suspension performance of your Jeep Grand Cherokee from 1999 to 2004. Designed for both on-road comfort and off-road capability, this shock absorber features advanced valving technology that improves handling, control, and ride quality. Whether you’re navigating rugged trails or cruising city streets, the RS5000X delivers a smoother, more responsive driving experience tailored specifically to your vehicle’s suspension dynamics.
Built to withstand harsh conditions and extreme temperatures, this shock absorber is ideal for Jeep owners seeking durable, reliable suspension upgrades that maintain vehicle stability and reduce ride harshness. The RS5000X is a perfect choice for enthusiasts who demand consistent performance and longevity from their suspension components.
Key Features:
Rancho’s RS5000X shocks incorporate innovative technology and robust construction to provide superior suspension performance. Key features include:
- Exclusive Valving System: Custom-tuned rebound and compression valving for improved handling and shock control.
- Advanced Compression Functionality: Compression Control Valve regulates fluid transfer to absorb impacts smoothly without disc flutter.
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Reduces initial impacts at low speeds to minimize rough ride sensations.
- Durable Construction: 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod resists corrosion and scuffs for long-lasting performance.
- Large Twin-Tube Body: Filled with all-weather fluid to maintain cooler operation and withstand temperatures from -40°F to 248°F.
- Polyurethane Rebound Bumper and Rubber Bushings: Absorb ride harshness and enhance responsiveness to changing road conditions.
- Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: Pressurized to 150 PSI to reduce damping fade and foaming for consistent shock performance.
- Polyvinyl Protective Boot: Shields the shock from dirt and debris, extending service life.
- Application-Specific Piston: Expanded piston area delivers heightened control of shock motion.
Construction & Design:
The RS5000X rear shock absorber is engineered with premium materials and precision manufacturing techniques to ensure durability and performance. The 16mm piston rod undergoes nitro-carburizing, a heat treatment process that hardens the surface to resist wear and corrosion. The shock features a 35mm sintered iron piston, enhancing structural integrity and providing consistent damping force under demanding conditions.
Double-welded loops at stress points reinforce the shock’s frame, while the large twin-tube design allows for efficient heat dissipation. The shock is filled with all-weather fluid that maintains optimal viscosity across a wide temperature range, ensuring smooth operation whether in freezing cold or extreme heat.
Installation & Fitment:
The Rancho RS5000X Rear Shock is a direct fit replacement for Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 1999 through 2004, including Laredo, Limited, Overland (2002–2004), and Special Edition (2004). Installation requires no modifications, making it a straightforward upgrade for owners seeking enhanced suspension performance. Standard tools and basic mechanical knowledge are sufficient for installation, allowing for quick and hassle-free replacement of worn or factory shocks.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
