Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1969-1993 Dodge W300, W350 4WD

Part Number: RS55114

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative CrossTune Technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Dodge or Plymouth 4WD. These twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to deliver a smooth, controlled ride on the street while maintaining the rugged durability required for off-road environments. Specifically configured for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, they provide the necessary travel to maintain contact with the terrain without bottoming out.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure comfort during daily driving and control during off-road articulation.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping performance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides a barrier against oil aeration to ensure immediate response and reduced fade.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s CrossTune Technology bridges the gap between highway comfort and off-road stability by using a base valve specifically tuned for larger tire masses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not provide lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift to ensure the correct operating length.

Is the installation a direct bolt-on?
Yes, though note that the high-density bushings feature a tight inner diameter for a secure fit on the mounting pin; lubrication and extra effort are recommended during the press-fit process.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder remains protected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
