Rancho RS5000X 3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota 4WD

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series delivers a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design specifically engineered for the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota 4WD. These shocks utilize a unique Cross-Tune Technology that provides a progressive engagement to handle both highway stability and off-road impacts. Configured for a 3-inch front lift, they offer the necessary travel and durability to maintain a smooth street ride while resisting the harsh conditions of trail use.

Features

• Cross-Tune Technology: A unique valve base system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure consistent damping across varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen gas-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and reduced fade during heavy cycling.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to be installed on vehicles already equipped with a 3-inch front lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charging?
The low-pressure nitrogen gas charge minimizes the aeration of the shock fluid, which prevents the foaming that leads to performance fade during off-road use.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55136) includes a pair of two shocks for the front of your vehicle.
