Rancho RS5000X Gas Shocks for 1994-1996 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 4WD
Part Number: RS55221 / RS55198
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Dodge Ram. Designed for durability and smooth street comfort, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks manage the heavy unsprung mass of the Ram’s solid axle with ease. Whether navigating daily commutes or handling light off-road trails, the RS5000X delivers a consistent, controlled feel that eliminates the harshness common in stock heavy-duty suspensions.
Features
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a gradual transition of fluid to ensure smooth ride quality during normal driving conditions.
- Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A low-pressure Nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping response to ensure reduced aeration and foaming during spirited driving.
- 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term seal integrity and dent resistance.
- Protective Boot: Included red polyvinyl accordion bellows provide a physical barrier against debris to ensure the shock rod and oil seal remain free of contaminants.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features an enlarged 2.25-inch body and improved valving, which allows for increased oil capacity and better heat dissipation compared to the original design.
Do these include the boots?
