Rancho RS5000X Front Coilovers for 2011-2018 Ram 1500 4WD

Part Number: RS551808

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines entry-level performance by utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design that balances off-road durability with on-road refinement. Engineered specifically for the 2011-2018 Ram 1500 4WD, these front coilovers feature Rancho’s exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving (PEV) to minimize harshness during initial impacts. This setup provides a significant upgrade over factory units, offering increased oil capacity and a rugged construction that resists damage from road debris and trail obstacles.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure a smooth ride over varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures and consistent performance under load.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty hardened rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and seal longevity to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-performance pivot points provide reduced deflection and improved road feedback to ensure precise steering response.
