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

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your lifted Dodge Dakota. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with a 3-inch lift, ensuring the piston remains in the optimal stroke zone. The gas-pressurized construction minimizes fluid aeration, providing consistent damping and smooth street comfort during daily commutes or light trail use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping forces to ensure improved control on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen charge reduces oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent performance under varied thermal loads.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: Heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides increased tensile strength and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Protective Boot Included: High-quality polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and mud to ensure the longevity of the chrome rod and seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Dodge Dakota?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with a vehicle that already has a 3-inch suspension lift installed.

Are these shocks sold as a complete set?
Yes, this SKU includes a full set of four shocks (two front and two rear) specifically matched for the 1997-1999 Dodge Dakota 4WD.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger 2.25-inch diameter body and gas pressurization, which allows for increased oil capacity and better heat dissipation compared to basic factory replacements.
