Rancho RS5000X Rear Shock Absorber for 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota & Durango (RS55248)

Fits 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota and 1998-2003 Dodge Durango models. This Rancho RS5000X series shock absorber is engineered to provide improved handling and performance for both on-road and off-road driving.

Built around Cross Tuned technology, this twin-tube shock features an exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving system. This design helps reduce initial impacts at low speeds while maintaining firm control during aggressive maneuvers or rough terrain. The large twin-tube body is filled with all-weather fluid capable of withstand internal temperatures from -40 to 248°F, ensuring consistent damping performance in extreme conditions.

Durability is handled by a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod and a 35mm sintered iron piston. The unit is pressurized with nitrogen gas to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixing, which prevents performance fade and foaming during heavy use. For long-term reliability, it includes double-welded loops at stress points and a self-lubricating seal to retain gas and oil.
