Product Details

Rancho RS5000X shocks are built for drivers who want firmer control without giving up everyday drivability. The RS55260 uses a reserve tube design and a valving setup tuned to improve handling response across mixed road conditions. This part cross-references KYB (e.g., 344342, 565107) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

  • Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
  • Loose or unsettled rear suspension feel
  • Reduced control on uneven pavement or gravel roads
  • Worn shock performance that affects ride stability
  • Inconsistent damping during daily driving and light off-road use

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear fitment before installation by matching the vehicle year, model, and suspension configuration. This RS55260 uses loop bushing and sleeve mounts at both ends, with LS29 upper and LS25 lower mounting codes. Confirm compressed and extended length requirements against the original shock and suspension travel before final assembly. For best results, inspect related rear suspension components such as bushings and mounts during replacement.

Quality Assurance

Part number RS55260 is listed for 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee rear applications and is built to match the specified mounting and dimensional requirements.
