Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Lift Shocks for 1972-1993 Dodge W200, W250 4WD

Part Number: RS55114

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for classic Dodge and Plymouth 4WD applications. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks provide consistent damping and dent resistance for rugged off-road environments. Specifically configured for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of suspension lift, they eliminate the harshness often associated with lifted leaf-spring configurations while maintaining excellent street manners.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure smooth transitions between on-road comfort and off-road control.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and reduced fade during heavy use.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide rapid response to road impacts to ensure maximum tire-to-ground contact.
• Protective Boot: A high-quality red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Why Choose This Product?

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks provide my vehicle with a 4-inch lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically sized and valved to work with vehicles that already have 2.5 to 4 inches of suspension lift installed.

Why is the bushing fitment noted as tight?
The inner diameter of the bushings is designed for a high-tolerance press-fit on the mounting pins to prevent rattles; using a silicone-based lubricant during installation is highly recommended.

Are these shocks sold as a pair or a full set?
This specific SKU (2xRS55114_2xRS55005) includes a full set of 4 shocks to cover both the front and rear of your vehicle.
