Part Number: RS55297

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series gas pressurized shocks are engineered to provide enhanced durability and ride comfort for heavy-duty applications. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with 4 inches of rear lift to maintain proper suspension geometry. The RS5000X focuses on delivering a smooth street ride while providing the dent resistance required for demanding work and off-road environments.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal valving provides a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent driver comfort across varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure stable damping performance under heavy loads.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term seal integrity and resistance to scuffing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have 4 inches of rear lift height to ensure the shock operates within its intended travel range.

What is the benefit of the gas charge in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which prevents the shock from losing its damping effectiveness during rapid suspension cycling.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55297_n98) includes 2 rear shocks to cover both the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle.
