RSX delivers ultimate control using impact sensing technology. Available for both light truck and SUV. It offers greater stability and control. Each part number is valved for the individual application.

Rancho RSX units have: Patented reflex valve, Cellular gas design with VFC (Variable Force Control) for precise flow metering, and improved urethane bushings to offer twice the durability compared to rubber bushings, without sacrificing quality. (These units are similiar to Monroe's Reflex units).

Rancho RS5000 series has been the shock of choice for light trucks and sport utility vehicles since 1985. Available for stock and lifted applications, RS5000 is ideal for on and off-road use, at an affordable price.

Rancho RS5000 are a Twin-tube cellular gas design and ten-stage valving deliver a highway OE type valving and some off-road performance.

Copied from Shockwarehouse.com I didn't even realize they had other flavors of fronts for the KJ?
