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

Part Number: RS55297

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide exceptional durability and smooth street comfort for your lifted truck. Engineered specifically for vehicles with a 4-inch rear lift, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes harshness over small bumps while maintaining control during off-road excursions. This gas-pressurized solution is ideal for drivers seeking a reliable, heavy-duty upgrade that balances daily drivability with rugged performance.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized twin-tube valving circuit provides a progressive engagement to ensure smooth ride quality on paved surfaces and controlled damping off-road.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent performance under heavy work cycles.
• Increased Fluid Capacity: The 2.25-inch reserve tube provides improved heat dissipation to ensure the shock maintains damping force during extended use.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: A 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against debris and harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have 4 inches of rear lift height to ensure the piston operates within its optimal travel range.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly resistant to external damage; if the outer shell is dented, the inner working tube remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded during off-road use.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55297) includes 2 rear shocks to cover both the driver and passenger sides of the vehicle.
