Rancho RS5000X 0-1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1976-1993 Dodge Ramcharger 4WD

Part Number: RS55111

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Dodge Ramcharger. Engineered for vehicles with 0-1.5 inches of front lift, these shocks feature a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. By balancing internal pressure and fluid movement, the RS5000X ensures consistent tire-to-road contact and a smooth street ride without sacrificing off-road durability.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized internal valve base system provides precise damping control at both high and low speeds to ensure predictable handling on diverse terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged twin-tube design provides a protective outer shell for the inner working cylinder to ensure the shock remains functional even if the outer body is dented.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression disk provides reduced harshness during initial suspension travel to ensure a comfortable ride during daily driving.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure seal longevity against mud and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Dodge Ramcharger?
No, these shocks are designed to work with vehicles that already have 0 to 1.5 inches of front lift. Shocks control the motion of the suspension but do not provide the lift height themselves.

Is any modification required for installation?
These are designed as a direct fit; however, due to the tight tolerance of the bushings on these specific Dodge models, lubrication and extra effort are required to seat the bushings onto the mounting pins.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is ideal for off-roading because the outer tube acts as a shield. If the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner piston tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to keep functioning.
