Rancho 94-01 Dodge Pickup / Ram 1500 1/2 Ton Front RS5000X Shock

When you're working on your 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 1500 or 2500, getting the right shock absorber makes a big difference in how the truck handles, especially when you're carrying a load or heading off the pavement. This Rancho RS5000X shock absorber is built to improve your truck's overall on- and off-road performance.

This shock absorber features a large, twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid, which helps it run cooler and handle extreme temperatures from -40 to 248°F. The 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod is tough, resisting scuffs and corrosion, while double-welded loops at stress points add extra durability. Inside, a 35mm sintered iron piston and a low-friction seal work together to control shock motion and ensure quicker rebound. The Progressive Engagement Valving is custom-tuned for your specific truck to help absorb initial impacts smoothly, minimizing a rough ride.

To help maintain control, a Compression Control Valve regulates fluid transfer, and the nitrogen gas pressurization to 150 PSI helps reduce damping performance fade. You'll also find a polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings to absorb ride harshness, contributing to a smoother overall feel.
