Product Details

The 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod on this Rancho RS5000X shock absorber is built to resist scuffs and corrosion, giving you a solid foundation for improved handling on your 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota. This shock is designed to work with the specific suspension of your truck, helping to absorb impacts and maintain control whether you're on the pavement or heading off-road.

Rancho uses a unique valving system and a large, twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid that can handle temperatures from -40 to 248°F. This helps keep the shock operating cooler, which reduces damping performance fade and foaming, especially during demanding use. The application-specific piston and a Progressive Engagement Valving system work together to absorb initial impacts smoothly at low speeds, minimizing a rough ride and enhancing overall vehicle control.

Double-welded loops at stress areas and a 35mm sintered iron piston add to the shock's structural integrity. It also includes a protective polyvinyl boot and polyurethane rebound bumper with rubber bushings to help absorb ride harshness. This shock absorber fits both the 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and the 1998-2003 Dodge Durango.
