Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your classic Dodge or Plymouth SUV. Engineered with a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide smooth street comfort while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use. Configured for vehicles with 0-2 inches of lift, this complete set ensures your vintage rig stays composed over varied terrain by reducing harsh impacts and body roll.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure consistent ride quality across different road surfaces.
• 2.25-inch Twin-Tube Body: A large-capacity fluid reservoir provides increased oil volume to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure Nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure immediate damping response.
