Rancho RS5000X Rear Shock for Tacoma
The Rancho RS5000X shock absorber is built for drivers who want more controlled rear suspension response on and off the road. This RS55006 application is made for 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma rear fitments without the TRD package and with rear raised height 0 in.
Rancho’s RS5000X line focuses on improved handling through a valving design that manages compression more effectively, helping the rear suspension respond with more consistency over changing road surfaces. For Tacoma owners, that means a direct-fit rear shock option tuned for everyday driving, load changes, and rougher terrain.

Detailed Description
The Rancho RS5000X RS55006 is a suspension shock absorber engineered for the rear of the Toyota Tacoma across 1995-2004 model years in the listed configuration. It uses Rancho’s RS5000X valving approach to improve control during compression and rebound, supporting more stable rear suspension behavior on pavement and uneven surfaces. The loop bushing mount design at both ends simplifies replacement when servicing the rear shock position on a Tacoma.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 37112) for the same application. If you are searching for a rear shock absorber for Toyota Tacoma 1995-2004, RS55006 is the part number to verify against your vehicle’s suspension setup.
What It Helps Address
- Excessive rear bounce after bumps or dips
- Loose or unsettled rear-end feel on rough roads
- Reduced control when the Tacoma carries changing loads
- Worn rear shock performance from age and mileage
- Inconsistent damping in mixed on-road and off-road use
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm rear fitment by matching the vehicle year, Tacoma model, and the listed configuration before installation. Verify compressed and extended length against the suspension travel available on your truck, especially if the rear suspension has been modified. Inspect mounting bushings and hardware condition during replacement, and replace any worn related components as needed for proper shock alignment.
Quality Assurance
Rancho RS5000X shocks are built around a valving system and compression-focused damping design intended to improve overall handling performance. RS55006 is specified for the listed Toyota Tacoma rear application and uses a rubber dust shield material with an extended bumper stop.
