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

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.

Installed easy on my Jeep wrangler. Rides real nice after the install. I would buy again.

great shocks and great price and got them very fast.

Nice shocks, car drive better after install

Fit great on 2914 Jeep JK. Only trouble on install is the front passenger side was tricky. Very little room to fit tools under the plastic compartment for the battery. Tool lots of patience on that one. Other than that had all 4 on in under 90 minutes. On initial drive thy seemed to cushion bumps in road better than the factory ones. Ride did not seem so rough. Great price as well.

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

These were advertised as fitting up to a 2 in lift. I'm ashamed to admit I don't know whether my Jeep is lifted. (I bought it used and haven't really looked.) I was also concerned by some reviews complaining of poor fit and difficulty installing, especially the front passenger side. But overall, the reviews were good enough that I decided to order them. First problem was I only received the front shocks. A query to Amazon confirmed the rear shocks were coming separately. Extremely quick response from the company there! (As an aside, the Haynes and Chilton manuals are virtually useless for Jeeps. They almost never match what's on my Jeep, and I've had two. That was the case here; the shocks indicated in the manual were not the shocks on my jeep.) Anyway, the shaft on the front shocks is visibly thicker (therefore should be stronger) than the old shocks. They fit perfectly. On the front shocks, there is very little clearance between the top pf the shaft and the wheel well. I installed the left one first and connected the bottom first. I then had to compress the shaft in order to get clearance to put on the upper bushing. I installed the right shock upper end first, which made it much easier to get the bushing, et cetera on. Overall very pleased.
