Rancho RS5000X 4″ Front Lift Shocks for 2006-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD
Part Number: RS55317
Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative Cross-Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Dodge Ram. Specifically configured for 4-inch lift applications, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks are designed to handle the increased stresses of a lifted suspension while maintaining a smooth street feel. By managing energy transfer effectively through a unique valving system, these shocks provide a durable and comfortable solution for daily driving and light off-road use.
Features
- Cross-Tuned Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides high-velocity damping to ensure consistent control during rapid suspension cycles.
- Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance in varying temperatures.
- Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against debris and corrosion.
- All-Weather Fluid: Specialized friction-reducing modifiers provide consistent damping performance from -40 to 248 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure reliability in extreme climates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks provide my truck with a 4-inch lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to be compatible with a vehicle that already has a 4-inch suspension lift installed.
What is the benefit of the RS5000X Cross-Tuned valving?
The Cross-Tuned system uses a base valve and a piston valve to provide better initial impact absorption, making the ride smoother over small bumps while remaining firm during heavy maneuvers.
Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55317) includes a pair of two front shocks for a complete axle installation.
