Part Number: RS55114

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to provide a significant upgrade in durability and ride quality for your classic 4WD. Utilizing an advanced CrossTune Technology, these shocks manage the unique stresses of lifted applications by balancing off-road control with smooth street manners. Specifically configured for 2.5 to 4 inches of lift, they offer the necessary travel to maintain traction on uneven terrain while the twin-tube design ensures maximum protection against trail debris.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique base valve system and specialized compression/rebound valving provides a custom-tuned feel to ensure consistent performance across various terrains.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in fluid aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free damping during sustained cycling.
• 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.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and tensile strength to ensure long-term structural integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Dodge Ramcharger?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 2.5-inch to 4-inch suspension lift to ensure proper travel and prevent bottoming out.

Why is the bushing installation noted as difficult?
The inner diameter of the bushing is designed for a precision interference fit. Using a silicone-based lubricant and a bench vise or press will ensure a secure fit onto the mounting pin.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is ideal for off-roading because the outer tube acts as a shield. If a rock dents the outer body, the inner pressure tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
