Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a sophisticated Progressive Engagement Valving system to significantly improve ride quality on your Nissan Pickup Hardbody. Designed to accommodate 2.5 inches of rear lift, these shocks excel at absorbing harsh impacts while maintaining smooth street comfort. The twin-tube gas-pressurized design provides rugged durability and dent resistance, making it an ideal solution for drivers seeking a balance between daily reliability and off-road capability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of fluid flow to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressurized Design: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge minimizes aeration and foaming to provide consistent damping performance during spirited driving.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide superior structural integrity to ensure long-term durability under heavy loads.
• Protective Boot Included: A high-quality poly-vinyl accordion boot protects the polished piston rod from debris to ensure seal longevity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck by 2.5 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to work with vehicles already equipped with a 2.5-inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge reduces the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which prevents the shock from “fading” or losing its damping effectiveness during continuous use.

Is the boot included with the shock?
Yes, these shocks come standard with a red protective boot to keep the chrome piston rod safe from rocks, mud, and road salt.
