Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series defines durability and ride quality for the classic Plymouth Trailduster. Featuring a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks utilize a unique Cross-Tuned valve system to minimize aeration and shock fade. Engineered specifically for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping control to handle both rugged trails and smooth highway cruising with consistent performance.
Features
- Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized progressive engagement valve system provides custom-tuned damping to ensure smooth ride quality during varying road conditions.
- Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during heavy off-road use.
- 9.53-inch Travel: The extended stroke length provides increased articulation to ensure the suspension remains compliant over uneven terrain.
- Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these shocks lift my Plymouth Trailduster?
No, these shocks do not provide lift; they are specifically length-tuned to work with vehicles already equipped with a 2.5 to 4-inch suspension lift.
Why is the bushing fitment tight on the Trailduster?
The inner diameter of the bushing is designed for a precision fit; lubrication and additional effort are required during installation to ensure a secure, rattle-free mount on the factory pin.
Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55114_n909) includes a pair of two (2) shocks for the front position.
