Rancho RS5000X Front Shock Absorber for 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 (RS55281)

Fits 2002-2008 Dodge Ram 1500 models including Laramie, SLT, Sport, SRT-10, ST, and SXT.

The Rancho RS5000X RS55281 front shock absorber features an advanced Cross Tuned technology and a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system. Designed to bridge the gap between street comfort and off-road control, this twin-tube gas-pressurized shock improves handling by reducing initial impacts at low speeds and minimizing damping fade under heavy use. The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charge works to eliminate air-to-oil foaming, ensuring consistent performance in demanding conditions.

Built for long-term durability in harsh environments, this shock is constructed with a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist corrosion and scuffs, and double-welded loops at critical stress points. The self-lubricating seal and all-weather fluid allow the unit to withstand internal temperatures ranging from -40 to 248°F, making it a reliable choice for any climate.
