Rancho RS5000X 4″ Front Lift Shocks for 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD

Part Number: RS55317

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to enhance the ride quality of your lifted Dodge Ram 2500. Engineered specifically for vehicles with a 4-inch front lift, these shocks balance rugged off-road durability with smooth highway manners. The gas-pressurized architecture minimizes fluid aeration, ensuring consistent damping performance during heavy-duty use or spirited trail driving.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide increased control during high-velocity impacts to ensure a smoother ride over harsh terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a quicker response time and reduced fade to ensure consistent performance under load.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and strength to ensure long-term reliability in extreme environments.
• Protective Boot Included: High-quality polyvinyl bellows provide a physical barrier for the oil seal to ensure debris does not compromise the internal valving.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a Dodge Ram already equipped with a 4-inch front lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge reduces foaming and aeration of the shock oil, which prevents the “fading” sensation often felt with standard hydraulic shocks during heavy use.

Does this include both front shocks?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55317) includes a pair of shocks for the front driver and passenger sides.
