Rancho RS5000X 0″ Lift Shocks for 2011-2012 Ram 3500 2WD

Part Number: RS55279

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the standard for twin-tube performance on your Ram 3500. Engineered with a unique Cross-Tune Technology, these shocks are designed to provide a smooth, controlled ride on the street while maintaining the rugged durability needed for hauling and towing. By utilizing a larger 2.25-inch reserve tube, the RS5000X manages heat more effectively than standard shocks, ensuring consistent damping performance under heavy loads.

Features

• Cross-Tune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure comfort during daily driving and stability during off-road or towing scenarios.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping control in demanding conditions.
• 2.25-inch Reserve Tube: An increased fluid capacity provides superior heat dissipation to ensure the shock maintains performance during long-distance hauling.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty hardened finish provides maximum resistance against scuffs and corrosion to ensure a long-lasting seal life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ram 3500?
No, these shocks are configured for a 0-inch lift and are designed to replace your factory-length shocks without changing the vehicle’s ride height.

Do these shocks come with the red boots?
Yes, this kit includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rod from road debris and contaminants.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard twin-tube shock?
The RS5000X features a larger body and specialized valving that reduces internal oil foaming, resulting in more consistent performance and less “fade” during heavy work.
