Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Dodge Dakota. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurization process, these shocks are designed to minimize aeration and foaming, ensuring consistent performance on and off the road. This specific pair is configured for vehicles with a 3-inch front lift, offering the necessary travel and damping to handle increased ride heights while maintaining smooth street comfort.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal valving provides a smooth transition between damping circuits to ensure controlled handling during sudden maneuvers.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent oil-to-gas interface to ensure reduced fade during spirited driving or heavy workloads.
• All-Weather Fluid: Specialized friction-reducing modifiers provide consistent performance in temperatures ranging from -40 to 248 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure reliable operation in any climate.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides increased structural integrity to ensure longevity against pitting and corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured to work with vehicles that already have a 3-inch front lift kit installed.

Is the mounting hardware included?
Yes, these shocks include the necessary bushings and sleeves for an OE-style installation on the specified Dodge Dakota models.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The 150-PSI nitrogen charge prevents the oil from foaming (aeration), which maintains consistent damping forces even when the shock is working hard over rough terrain.
