Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1972-1975 Dodge W100 4WD

Part Number: RS55005

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to enhance the handling and ride quality of your Dodge W100 or Plymouth Trailduster. Designed for vehicles at stock ride height, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide exceptional durability and dent resistance for rugged off-road environments. By reducing aeration and shock fade, this set ensures a smooth, controlled street performance while maintaining the toughness required for 4WD applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure a comfortable ride without sacrificing control.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A low-pressure nitrogen charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and foaming during spirited driving.
• 11.77-Inch Suspension Travel: An extended length of 29.01 inches provides maximum articulation for the rear axle to ensure constant tire contact on uneven terrain.
• Protective Boot Included: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks are configured for a 0-inch lift and are designed to replace factory-length shocks without changing the vehicle’s ride height.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; the outer tube can take a dent from a rock or debris without affecting the inner cylinder or the movement of the piston.

Are there any special installation requirements?
Yes, the inner diameter of the shock bushing is intentionally tight for a secure fit. It requires lubrication and extra effort to press onto the mounting pin during installation.
