Part Number: RS55147

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to enhance the ride quality of your Dodge Dakota. Engineered with a progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use or hauling. This specific set is configured for 0-inch lift heights, serving as a high-performance OE replacement that reduces harshness and improves vehicle stability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure controlled handling over varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during extended cycles.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the oil seal remains free of debris and contaminants.

Is the twin-tube design better for street driving?
Yes, the twin-tube design is engineered for durability and a smoother ride profile, making it an ideal choice for daily driven trucks and work vehicles.

What is the benefit of the progressive valving?
Progressive valving allows the shock to remain soft during small bumps for comfort, but instantly firm up during large impacts or sharp turns for safety and control.
