Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Plymouth Trailduster. Utilizing a cross-tuned twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with 0-2 inches of front lift, providing a smoother street experience while maintaining off-road resilience.

• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
