Rancho 69-93 Dodge Pickup / W Series 1 Ton - 4WD Rear RS5000X Shock

This Rancho RS5000X shock absorber is built with a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod, which helps it resist scuffs and corrosion, making it a solid choice for your Dodge W Series pickup or Ramcharger. It's designed to handle a wide range of temperatures, from -40 to 248°F, thanks to its large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid that keeps things cool and helps maintain control. This shock is a good option for a variety of Dodge and Plymouth trucks from the early 70s through the mid-90s, including models like the W250 and Ramcharger.

You'll notice improved handling both on and off the pavement because of Rancho's exclusive valving system. The Progressive Engagement Valving helps reduce initial impacts at low speeds, smoothing out the ride, while the Cross Tuned technology works to absorb impacts without causing flutter and maintains shock motion control. A low-friction seal keeps the gas and oil in, ensuring quicker rebound and smoother compression, and the application-specific piston provides better control. It also features double-welded loops at stress areas and a sintered iron piston for extra strength.

To help absorb ride harshness, it includes polyurethane rebound bumpers and rubber bushings, and the fluon-banded piston responds well to changing road conditions for a smoother overall experience. The nitrogen gas is pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixing, which helps reduce damping performance fade and foaming, so you get consistent performance. This shock comes with Rancho’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
