Rancho RS5000X 2 Front Lift Shocks for 1994-1996 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD

Part Number: RS55221

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to enhance the ride quality of your Dodge Ram 2500. By utilizing a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks effectively manage the heavy unsprung weight of solid axle Rams while maintaining smooth street comfort. Designed for durability in harsh environments, the gas-pressurized construction reduces fluid aeration to ensure consistent damping performance during daily driving and light off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a smooth transition between damping circuits to ensure controlled handling on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging provides a consistent force against the shock fluid to ensure reduced aeration and fade during spirited driving.
• Twin-Tube Body: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch outer tube provides physical protection for the internal piston to ensure reliable operation even if the outer shell is dented.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The hardened surface treatment provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in salt and mud.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are configured to accommodate the specified suspension height and provide the necessary travel for your Dodge Ram.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is ideal for trucks because the outer tube acts as a shield; if a rock dents the shock body, the internal piston can still move freely, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?
Yes, this pair of shocks comes with the necessary bushings and hardware to mount to your vehicle’s factory locations.
