Part Number: RS55370

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for leveled or lifted heavy-duty trucks. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with a larger 2.25-inch body, these shocks offer increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during demanding tasks. This configuration is specifically tuned to provide smooth street comfort while maintaining the ruggedness required for off-road excursions and towing applications.

Features

• Crossed Landscape Valve System: A patented progressive engagement valving provides custom tuning to the initial impact of a bump to ensure a smooth, controlled ride on any terrain.
• Large Shock Body: The 2.25-inch diameter twin-tube housing provides increased oil capacity to ensure maximum heat dissipation and consistent damping performance.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure gas charge minimizes aeration and foaming provides immediate response to ensure stability under heavy loads.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to be used on vehicles already equipped with 1″ to 2.5″ of front lift or leveling.

Can I use these with my factory shock spacers?
No, these shocks are not for use with aftermarket shock spacers or relocation brackets as it may exceed the suspension’s travel limits.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design for a daily driver?
The twin-tube design allows for a larger oil reservoir and a more compliant valving setup, which results in a smoother ride over small road imperfections compared to many stiff monotube alternatives.
