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

Part Number: RS55010

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to enhance the ride quality of your lifted Dodge Dakota. By incorporating a unique valving system and increased fluid capacity, these shocks effectively manage heat while providing smooth street comfort and reliable off-road durability. Engineered specifically for vehicles with a 3-inch rear lift, they provide the necessary extension and compression travel to maintain proper suspension geometry and ride control.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure consistent damping control across varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch outer tube diameter provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced shock fade.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and consistent performance.
• Protective Boot: A durable red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal protection from debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are designed with the correct extended and compressed lengths to work with a vehicle that has already been equipped with 3 inches of rear lift components.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design allows for a larger outer body which holds more oil, helping the shock stay cooler during use, and provides a layer of protection for the inner working cylinder against rock dings or trail damage.

Do these include the mounting hardware?
Yes, these shocks come with the necessary bushings and protective red boots required for a standard installation.
