Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your lifted Dodge Dakota.

The heavy-duty construction ensures maximum dent resistance and consistent performance across varying terrains.

Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Dodge Dakota?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and extended to accommodate vehicles that already have a 3-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design on this model?
The twin-tube design provides an outer chamber that protects the inner working cylinder from dents and trail debris, ensuring the shock continues to function even in harsh environments.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, Rancho RS5000X shocks typically include protective red dust boots to shield the piston rod from contaminants.
