Part Number: RS55199

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the standard for twin-tube shock performance for your Dodge or Plymouth van and SUV. Utilizing an innovative Progressive Engagement Valving system, these shocks are engineered to provide a smooth, comfortable ride during daily transit while maintaining firm control during spirited driving or hauling. Designed for vehicles at stock ride height, they offer a significant durability upgrade over factory dampers, specifically tuned to handle the unique weight distribution of classic full-size chassis.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides restricted oil flow at low speeds to ensure precise handling and stability.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and foaming.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure longevity against road debris and corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks are configured for 0″ of lift and are designed to replace the factory-length dampers at stock ride height.

Is any modification required for installation?
Yes, according to the manufacturer, slight grinding of the lower control arm is required to ensure proper fitment for these specific models.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of air and oil (foaming), which prevents the shock from losing its damping effectiveness during continuous movement.
