Rancho 09-10 Dodge Pickup / Ram 1500 1/2 Ton Rear RS5000X Shock

The 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod on this Rancho RS5000X shock absorber is built to resist scuffs and corrosion, setting a strong foundation for improved on- and off-road handling for your Ram 1500. This shock is designed to replace your worn-out original equipment, helping to restore ride comfort and vehicle control. Its application-specific piston and custom-tuned valving work together to manage fluid transfer, absorbing impacts effectively and maintaining consistent shock motion.

Rancho uses a large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid, which allows for cooler operation even under demanding conditions, and it can handle extreme temperatures from -40 to 248°F. The shock also includes a polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings to soak up ride harshness, while a fluon-banded piston makes it more responsive to changing road surfaces. For added durability, it features double-welded loops at stress areas and a protective polyvinyl boot.

This shock absorber is pressurized with nitrogen gas to 150 PSI. This helps prevent air from mixing with the oil inside, which reduces damping performance fade and foaming, ensuring more consistent performance over time. It's a well-built option designed to provide a smoother ride and better vehicle control for your truck.
