Product Description

The Rancho RS55147 RS5000X rear shock absorber is a rugged, performance-oriented replacement designed for late-1990s and early-2000s trucks and vans. With progressive Engagement valving and Rancho's Cross Tuned technology, this shock delivers improved ride quality and handling over stock dampers by smoothing compression and rebound action both on the highway and off-road terrain. Its gas-charged twin-tube design keeps damping response consistent while resisting fade under heavier loads or rough use.

Built with durability in mind, the RS5000X includes a large 2.25" body and a hardened nitro-carburized piston rod with protective dust boot to help resist corrosion and extend service life. This shock fits a range of rear suspension applications including **Chevrolet Astro**, **GMC Safari**, **Dodge Dakota**, and **Dodge Durango**, making it a versatile choice for vehicles needing a reliable, direct-fit rear shock. Sold individually, it's ideal when replacing worn rear shocks or upgrading for better ride control and durability.
