Part Number: RS55116

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your classic Plymouth Trailduster. Engineered for durability, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and foaming common in standard dampers. This Tier 4 shock focus on smooth street comfort and rugged off-road dent resistance, ensuring your vehicle remains controlled regardless of the terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping phases to ensure maximum comfort on uneven surfaces.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The large 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term structural integrity.
• Protective Boot: Included poly-vinyl accordion boots provide a physical barrier against debris to ensure the main seal remains free from contaminants.
