Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative Cross-Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your lifted Dodge Ram 1500. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 4-inch rear lift, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes harshness while maintaining firm control during off-road excursions. The twin-tube gas pressurized design ensures rugged durability and dent resistance, making it an ideal solution for drivers seeking a balance between daily highway comfort and dependable trail performance.
Features
- Cross-Tuned Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure smooth transitions between varying terrain types.
- Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under load.
- Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure seal longevity against road debris and mud.
- 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure reliable operation in demanding environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for a vehicle that already has a 4-inch rear lift kit installed to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.
What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner tube (where the piston travels) remains functional, allowing you to get home safely.
Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55297) includes two rear shocks to complete the installation for your rear axle.
