Rancho RS5000X 4″ Lift Shocks for 2002-2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD

Part Number: RS55283

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your lifted Dodge Ram 1500. Designed specifically for trucks with a 4-inch lift, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks offer exceptional durability and dent resistance for both on-road comfort and off-road reliability. By minimizing aeration and foaming, the RS5000X ensures consistent damping performance even during spirited driving or light trail use.

Features

• Crossed Landscape Valve: A patented progressive valving system provides precise control of fluid flow during high-speed piston travel to ensure a smoother ride over rough terrain.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charge provides a consistent barrier against oil foaming to ensure fade-free performance during continuous cycling.
• Twin-Tube Body: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch outer tube provides a secondary layer of protection for the internal piston to ensure the shock remains functional even if the outer shell is dented.
• Protective Boot: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical shield for the chrome piston rod to ensure long seal life by preventing debris intrusion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for vehicles already equipped with a 4-inch suspension lift kit.

Is the boot included with the shock?
Yes, these RS5000X shocks include red protective boots to safeguard the piston rod from dirt and debris.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is ideal for off-road use because the outer tube acts as a reservoir; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner tube remains functional, allowing you to finish your trip.
