Rancho RS5000X 2.5-4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1976-1993 Dodge Ramcharger 4WD

Part Number: RS55005

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented Progressive Engagement Valving system to provide a smooth, controlled ride for 4WD Dodge Ramcharger and Plymouth Trailduster models. Engineered for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of rear lift, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks are designed to handle both daily street driving and rugged off-road environments. The increased fluid capacity and durable construction ensure consistent damping performance by reducing internal heat buildup during heavy use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of damping force to ensure smooth ride quality over varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under high-speed cycling.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures and improved durability.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: Heavy-duty construction provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
