Rancho RS5000X Gas Shocks Set 2007-2018 for Jeep Wrangler 4WD JK

Exactly what you would expect from Rancho shocks excellent quality

My 2018 JK (yes it’s one of the last JKs built before Jeep switched to the JL) needed new shocks. The rear shocks were both leaking and the front end would shudder when hitting bumps at highway speed. I checked with all the main auto part stores in my area and even though they were 30% more I figured get them today and support the local businesses. The problem was none of them had both front and rear in stock and quoted 3-5 business days to get them shipped to the store. Well, Amazon was 30% less and could ship them to my house in 48 hours. The shocks arrived in 2 days as promised by the seller. They were shipped FedX Vs the normal Amazon truck. The boxes they arrived in were a bit beat up (see picture) but everything in side was in perfect condition. See picture of unpacked contents. They say they fit up to 2” lift. My 2018 Rubicon Recon is stock and the new shocks fully extended length (front and back) was identical to the OEM shocks that I removed. When I purchased this vehicle at the Jeep dealer I remember him telling me the model Rubicon I have came from the factory with a lift so perhaps this is why they say fits up to a 2” lift. I only add this because these may not be long enough if you have a post factory lifted a Rubicon. The installation was pretty easy especially if you have done shocks before. Yes, the front passenger side top bolt is a pain but doable. Hint, I removed the battery and loosed all the bolts that hold the plastic battery shelf and was able to lift it enough to get an open end wrench onto the top bolt. As other users noted these shocks are beefier than the OEM shocks. They appear to be 1/2 inch larger in diameter. Others noted a stiffer ride than OEM. For my situation I noticed a much improved ride with the new shocks elimination the high speed shudder from the front end. The back end no longer skips around when hitting bumps while cornering. These were a good buy and give them 5 stars.

Solid replacement for stock. Looks good, rides good.

Installed on 2015 JK two door. The shocks were well packaged with no damage. Installation was easy , however, the passenger side is more time consuming because of the lack of clearance on the top stud. I did have to use the old rubber bushings on the passenger side top, as the supplied bushings were to thick to fit. Very firm , comfortable ride . Happy with the purchase.

Great replacement shock for the money. Light truck, some off-roading.

Came fast, the quality and fit was great, gave my jeep a better ride

Super easy installation, the feeling is wonderful for my taste. It takes a lot of wobble and if you install the steering damper it feels like a spectacular jeep

Shocks were easy to install Ride takes the bumps slightly higher stiffness smooth roads steady For time breaking them in has settled down to be better than stock and for some off road

TODO BIEN
