F+R Rancho RS5000X Shock Absorbers For Mitsubishi Triton L200 ML MN 30mm

About Rancho Shock Absorbers

Rancho first launched the original RS5000 shock series in 1985 until now one of the best-selling, high-performance shock absorbers in the world. The new Rancho RS5000-X shock series has a larger 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube for greater oil capacity and a solid 16mm nitro-carbonized rod for extra strength. The RS5000-X shock is gas pressurized to minimize foaming and shock fade and adds a mild boost of spring rate. The series also features a glass-filled fluon-banded piston that provides smoother piston travel and greater responsiveness when road conditions vary.

Cross-Tuned Technology

Progressive Engagement Valving

A unique valve design that allows for increased control and consistent ride profile with a larger shock body,improve the vehicle is overall on- and off-road handling and performance.

At lower speeds an eccentric disc in the valve shim stack engages the valving at lower frequencies,helping to control the energy of motion as the cycle of the shock increases or decreases in its action.

Tuned Compression Control Valve

Enlarged 2-1/4-inch Twin Tube Body

The Tuned Compression Control Valve is a custom-tuned, clamped disc base valve that regulates fluid transfer during the shock is compression cycle to help absorb impacts without disc flutter and to help maintain vehicle control in virtually any environment. The precision-tuned shim stacked valving allows the motion of the shock to work in harmony with the vehicle during on- and off-road driving.

The RS5000X series features a 2-1/4-inch diameter shock body. A larger shock body allows for increased fluid capacity to operate cooler and to increase vehicle control and performance at varying speeds and terrains. The RS5000X series combines a larger shock body with all-weather fluid, allowing the shock to withstand internal temperatures between -40 and 248 degrees Fahrenheit.

Gas Pressurization of Shock

16 mm Nitro-Carburized Rod

Each RS5000X shock is gas pressurized to 150 PSI.* The twin tube, gas pressurized shock has a variety of advantages including minimizing air-to-oil mixture that can cause foaming and shock fade. Gas pressurization also provides a mild boost of spring rate to the vehicle.

Every Rancho RS5000X shock piston rod is strengthened through a nitro-carburizing process. From increased scuffing resistance to additional protection against corrosion, the process enhances the shock is overall durability. Nitro-carburizing also is more environmentally friendly than the chroming process.

Full-Displaced 35 mm Bore

1-3/8-inch Diameter Sintered Iron Piston

The RS5000X is 35 mm bore helps to provide heightened control of shock motion due largely to the expanded piston area. Full-displaced compression valving allows the piston to displace more fluid than traditional rod displaced valving.

The sintering process forms objects from powders using atomic diffusion. The powdered material is heated to just below its melting point, fusing all of the particles together to create the piston. This process brings increased structural conformity to each Rancho RS5000X piston.

Rebound Bumper

Black, Natural Rubber Bushings

Each RS5000X series shock has a high-strength, polyurethane bumper that helps control the rebound motion during harsh driving conditions. The rebound bumper greatly reduces wear and tear during on- and off-road driving. When your shock rebounds from an obstacle at an excessive rate, the polyurethane bumper dampens the piston rod cycle at its peak point of travel.

The bushings used on the Rancho RS5000X series shocks provide additional ride harshness absorption and reduce transmitted road noise and suspension vibration to result in a smoother ride and longer life for shocks and related suspension components.

Low-Friction, Self-Lubricating Seal

Protective Boot

The low-friction, self-lubricating seal included in the RS5000X shock retains gas and oil to help prolong performance and allow for quicker rebound and smoother compression during the shock cycle. This seals provides an extra layer of defense against dirt and debris.

Each Rancho RS5000X series shock includes a red polyvinyl accordion protection boot, adding protection to the shock rod and oil seal during on- and off-road driving.

Glass-Filled, Fluon Banded Piston

Double-Welded Loops

The RS5000X composite piston band provides smoother piston travel and greater responsiveness to changing road conditions. Each glass-filled band offers incredibly smooth operation within the shock absorber cylinder due to Fluon, a slippery glass and plastic material.

Rancho engineers place extra emphasis on welded construction at stress areas like mounting points of the RS5000X shock. Each shock includes double-welded loops for added strength and durability.
