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

Part Number: RS55056

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Dodge Ram 2500/3500. Designed for heavy-duty applications, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks utilize a unique CrossTune technology to balance off-road capability with smooth highway manners. Configured for 4-inch rear lift heights, they offer the extended travel necessary to maintain traction and control on lifted platforms without sacrificing the rugged reliability Rancho is known for.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned feel for your truck to ensure consistent performance across varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: A nitrogen gas-charged twin-tube design provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade resistance during hard use.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity and prevent debris damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 4-inch rear lift kit to ensure the piston operates within the correct range.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which prevents the shock from losing damping power during corrugated roads or heavy towing.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55056_n285) includes 2 shocks for the rear of your vehicle.
