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

Part Number: RS55116

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to enhance the handling and performance of your Dodge W100. Designed for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of rear lift, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide a significant upgrade over factory units by reducing aeration and foaming. This configuration ensures consistent damping and a smooth, controlled ride whether you are navigating city streets or rugged off-road terrain.

Features

• Crossed Landscape Valve: A patented internal valve system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth ride during initial travel and firm control during aggressive maneuvers.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter outer body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures and improved durability against debris.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A 150 PSI gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent damping performance under high-stress conditions.
• Protective Boot: A durable red polyvinyl accordion boot provides protection for the piston rod and oil seal to ensure longevity against dirt and road grime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate a Dodge W100 already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch rear lift kit.

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

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, based on the SKU configuration, this product includes 2 rear shocks.
