Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 2000-2001 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55198

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve ride quality on your Dodge Ram 1500. Designed for daily-driven trucks and work vehicles, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks provide a smooth, controlled feel by reducing harshness during initial impacts. This specific configuration is engineered for vehicles at stock ride height, ensuring a direct-fit replacement that restores factory handling while adding rugged off-road durability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of fluid to ensure a smooth street ride without sacrificing control during heavy articulation.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping performance.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting points provide enhanced durability and reduced NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) to ensure a quiet and stable cabin experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks are designed for vehicles with 0″ of rear lift. Shocks support the weight of the vehicle via valving and gas pressure but do not provide lift height; that is determined by your leaf springs.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55198_n254) includes a pair of two (2) shocks for the rear of your vehicle.

How does the RS5000X differ from the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features a larger body diameter and improved gas-pressurized valving, which reacts faster to road imperfections than the older hydraulic design.
