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

Part Number: RS55269

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve ride quality on your Ram 3500. Designed for stock height applications, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks provide the ideal balance of durability and street comfort. By reducing harshness during initial impacts, the RS5000X ensures a smooth, controlled transition over varying road surfaces while maintaining the ruggedness required for heavy-duty hauling.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition of fluid to ensure a smooth ride during daily driving and firm control during towing.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under load.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure the oil seal remains free of debris and contaminants.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger shock body and progressive valving, which allows it to handle the weight of a Ram 3500 more effectively than standard replacement shocks, specifically reducing heat build-up.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55269_n317) includes 2 shocks to complete the rear axle of your vehicle.
