Part Number: RS55221 / RS55262

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Dodge Ram. Engineered to handle the increased demands of 2-3 inches of front lift, these gas-pressurized shocks offer superior durability and dent resistance compared to monotube alternatives. This complete set ensures a balanced, smooth street feel while maintaining the ruggedness required for off-road transitions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping cycles to ensure consistent comfort on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty reinforced rod construction provides increased resistance to scuffing and corrosion to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch outer tube diameter provides increased oil capacity and physical protection for the inner cylinder to ensure maximum durability against rock chips.

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 2-3″ of front lift and stock rear height to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.

Are these shocks better for street or off-road?
The RS5000X is designed as a hybrid solution; the twin-tube design provides excellent street comfort and dent resistance, while the gas charging handles moderate off-road use without fading.

Do I need to purchase boots separately?
No, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to help shield the piston rods from debris and road salt.
