Rancho Suspension Shock Absorber P/N:RS55383
Smooth out rough pavement and trail with the Rancho shock absorber RS55221, a front-position RS5000X twin-tube damper. It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1994-2001 Dodge Ram 1500, 2011-2013 Ram 2500 and 1994-2010 Dodge Ram 2500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list of vehicles.
A polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb ride harshness, while the fluon-banded piston, Compression Control Valve, and low-friction self-lubricating seal work to maintain shock motion control. For balanced ride and handling, replacing shocks as an axle pair is a good practice. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty.

Should I replace both front shocks at once?
Shocks are position-specific, but replacing them as a matched axle pair is a good practice for balanced ride quality and handling.
