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

Part Number: RS55044

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for leveled or lifted trucks. By utilizing a unique Valving Calibration System, these shocks effectively manage the increased unsprung mass of larger tire and wheel packages. This configuration is specifically engineered for vehicles with a 2.5-inch lift, ensuring the piston remains in the optimal stroke zone for both daily commuting and off-road durability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide smoother damping transitions to ensure consistent comfort on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures under heavy loads.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work on a vehicle that has already been equipped with a 2.5-inch lift kit or leveling spacers.

Do these come with the red boots pictured?
Yes, all Rancho RS5000X shocks include the signature red polyvinyl protective boots to shield the piston rod from debris.

Can I use these on a Dually (DRW) model?
No, these are specifically designed for Single Rear Wheel (SRW) models and exclude Chassis Cab configurations.
