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

Part Number: RS55317

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Cross-Tuned Twin-Tube series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for lifted heavy-duty trucks. By utilizing a unique valving system that transitions from a firm controlled ride to a smooth comfortable feel, these shocks solve the common issue of harshness associated with 4-inch lift heights. Designed specifically for the Ram 3500 4WD, they ensure consistent performance whether navigating daily commutes or demanding work sites.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized progressive engagement valving system provides increased control over road imperfections to ensure a smooth, fatigue-reducing ride.
• Gas Pressurization: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent response and minimizes aeration to ensure fade-free performance during heavy-duty use.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: The included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the oil seal and rod to ensure protection against road debris and corrosion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck 4 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate a truck that already has a 4-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charge?
The 150-PSI nitrogen charge reduces “foaming” or aeration of the shock oil, which prevents the shock from losing its damping effectiveness during rapid movement or heavy hauling.

Are these shocks sold as a pair or individually?
Based on the SKU configuration, this product includes 2 shocks (a pair) for the front of your vehicle.
