Rancho RS5000X Rear Shock for Dodge Trucks

The Rancho RS5000X RS55005 is a rear suspension shock absorber built for classic Dodge trucks and SUVs that need controlled ride quality on pavement and improved stability off-road. It uses Rancho’s RS5000X valving and advanced compression control to refine handling on lifted rear applications.

Key Features

Rancho RS5000X shock absorber for rear suspension use
Exclusive valving system for more controlled on-road and off-road response
Advanced compression functionality for improved damping behavior
Dust shield included for added protection
Extended bumper stop included
Loop bushing upper and lower mounts for direct suspension replacement
Compatible with rear raised height from 0 in. to 4.0 in. on listed applications
Part number RS55005 for easy identification

Detailed Description

Rancho RS55005 is part of the RS5000X product line, a shock series focused on balanced control for trucks and SUVs that see mixed street and trail use. This rear shock absorber uses a reserve tube design and application-specific valving to help manage suspension movement on lifted Dodge Ramcharger, W100, W150, W200, W250, W300, and W350 models. The result is more consistent rear damping for vehicles that need better control over body motion, load transfer, and rough-road response. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Shock Helps Address

Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
Loose rear-end feel on uneven pavement
Reduced control on lifted rear suspension setups
Harsh or inconsistent damping from worn shocks
Rear suspension instability during towing or cargo loading

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 1976-1993 Dodge Ramcharger, rear; 1977-1993 Dodge W150, rear; 1981-1993 Dodge W250, rear; 1981-1993 Dodge W350, rear; 1984-1989 Dodge W100, rear; 1975-1977 Dodge W100, rear; 1975-1980 Dodge W200, rear; 1976-1980 Dodge W300, rear; and 1975 Dodge W300, rear. Confirm rear raised height and mount style before installation. The upper mount is a loop bushing and sleeve design, and the lower mount is a loop bushing design, so the existing suspension hardware and mounting points must match the listed specifications. Verify compressed length, extended length, and travel length against the vehicle’s suspension travel to avoid topping out or bottoming out.

Quality Assurance

Rancho RS5000X shocks are engineered with application-specific valving and compression control to support predictable suspension performance on compatible Dodge Ramcharger and Dodge W-series rear applications. RS55005 is built to match the listed fitment and mounting dimensions for direct replacement use.
