Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1961-1971 Dodge W100 4WD

Part Number: RS55114

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your classic Dodge W100. Designed for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide exceptional durability and dent resistance for off-road environments. By minimizing aeration and foaming, the RS5000X ensures consistent damping performance and smooth street comfort during daily transit or trail exploration.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure controlled handling on unpredictable terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A nitrogen-charged 2-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to reduce internal temperatures and ensure consistent damping during heavy cycling.
• Protective Boot: The included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against mud and debris.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

How many shocks are included in this SKU?
This specific part number includes 2 shocks (one pair) for the front position of your vehicle.

Does this shock provide the lift for my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically lengthened and valved to be compatible with vehicles already equipped with a 2.5″ to 4″ lift kit.

Why is the bushing tight during installation?
The inner diameter of the bushing is engineered for a precision fit to eliminate play; per the fitment notes, lubrication and additional pressure are required for proper seating on the mounting pin.
