Product Description

The Rancho RS55248 is a rear shock absorber from the RS5000X series engineered to enhance ride quality and control on late-1990s to early-2000s Dodge Dakota and Dodge Durango vehicles. Its gas-charged twin-tube design and advanced valving technologies deliver stable damping performance across a range of driving conditions, from highway cruising to light off-road trails. Progressive Engagement Valving and a tuned Compression Control Valve help absorb impacts smoothly while maintaining vehicle stability.

Built for durability and long service life, this shock features a nitro-carburized piston rod and a large full-displaced piston for reliable performance. Protective dust boots and rubber bushings further improve longevity by reducing exposure to debris and dampening vibration. Ideal for replacing worn OEM rear shocks on 1997-2004 Dodge Dakotas and 1998-2003 Dodge Durangos, the RS55248 installs easily using existing mounting points and offers a solid upgrade for daily drivers and weekend adventurers alike.
