Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota 4WD

Part Number: RS55248

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a specialized Progressive Engagement Valving system to provide a smooth, controlled ride for your Dodge Dakota. Designed for stock height applications, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks are engineered to handle the rigors of daily driving and light off-road use while maintaining maximum durability. By reducing aeration and shock fade, this nitrogen-charged design ensures consistent damping performance across varying terrain and temperature ranges.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides increased control during high-velocity impacts to ensure a smoother ride over rough surfaces.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a quicker response time and minimizes oil foaming to ensure fade-free performance.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide superior structural integrity to ensure long-term durability in demanding environments.
• Fluon Banded Piston: A low-friction Teflon-coated piston seal provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure rapid reaction to road inputs.
