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

Part Number: RS55005

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to enhance the ride quality of your Dodge Ramcharger or Plymouth Trailduster. By incorporating a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the durability required for off-road excursions. Engineered to accommodate up to 1.5 inches of rear lift, they offer a significant upgrade in fluid capacity and heat dissipation over stock components.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression disk stack provides reduced initial impact harshness to ensure a smoother ride over varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure consistent performance and reduced shock fade during heavy use.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term seal protection.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure debris and moisture do not compromise the internal seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks provide my truck with a lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles with 0 to 1.5 inches of rear lift to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55005) includes a pair of two (2) rear shocks.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design on this model?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; if the outer body is dented by a rock, it rarely affects the internal piston movement, ensuring you aren’t stranded on the trail.
