Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2011-2013 Ram 3500 4WD

Part Number: RS55044

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features a cross-tuned twin-tube design engineered to bridge the gap between rugged off-road durability and refined street comfort. Developed specifically for the Ram 3500 4WD, these gas-pressurized shocks utilize a progressive engagement valving system to minimize harshness during initial impacts. By providing a consistent damping force across varied terrain, this setup resolves the “stiff” ride quality often associated with heavy-duty lifted trucks.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized twin-tube valving system provides increased oil capacity and reduced internal temperatures to ensure consistent performance during extended use.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a soft response during low-velocity movements to ensure a smooth highway ride without sacrificing high-speed control.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure gas charge provides a barrier against oil foaming and aeration to ensure the shock maintains damping force under heavy workloads.
• Protective Boot: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 2.5-inch front lift kit to ensure the piston operates within its optimal travel range.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55044_n310) includes 2 shocks for the front of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the gas pressurization in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge prevents the oil from foaming (aeration) during rapid cycling, which ensures the shock does not “fade” or lose damping effectiveness on rough roads.
