Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 2005-2009 Dodge Dakota

Part Number: RS55315

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade over factory dampening for your Dodge Dakota or Mitsubishi Raider. Engineered for durability and smooth street comfort, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and shock fade during daily use. Configured for 0-inch lift heights, they serve as a premium OE-replacement that balances rugged off-road resilience with refined highway manners.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides increased control of fluid flow during high-velocity impacts to ensure a smoother ride over harsh terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and foaming.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity and corrosion protection.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Band: A specialized piston wrap provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure rapid response to road irregularities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are configured for vehicles with 0-inches of rear lift and are designed to replace the factory-length dampers.

Is the boot included with the RS5000X?
Yes, these shocks include a red protective vinyl boot to shield the piston rod and oil seal from road debris and contaminants.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design for my Dakota?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner pressure tube remains unaffected, ensuring you can finish your trip without shock failure.
