Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1972-1993 Dodge & Plymouth 4WD

Part Number: RS55114

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the handling and ride quality of your lifted Dodge or Plymouth. Designed specifically for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks excel at absorbing harsh road impacts while maintaining firm control during off-road excursions. The heavy-duty construction ensures lasting durability against trail debris and extreme weather conditions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure a smooth street ride without sacrificing off-road stability.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade during spirited driving.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is damaged.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure longevity of the oil seal against sand, mud, and salt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that have already been modified with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift.

Why is the bushing fitment tight on these models?
As noted in the fitment data, the inner diameter of the bushing is designed for a precision fit on the mounting pin; using a silicone-based lubricant during installation is highly recommended.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable for off-road use, as the outer tube acts as a shield for the inner working cylinder, ensuring the shock continues to perform even if the outer body takes a hit.
