Rancho RS5000X 4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1981-1993 Ford Bronco 4WD

Part Number: RS55117

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design specifically engineered for the 1981-1993 Ford Bronco. By utilizing a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable ride during daily driving while maintaining the necessary firmness for off-road stability. Designed for vehicles with a 4-inch front lift, they offer the perfect balance of durability and dent resistance for rugged environments.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized twin-tube valving system provides increased oil capacity to ensure consistent damping performance under varying thermal loads.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a quicker response time to road imperfections to ensure maximum tire-to-surface contact.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a soft initial stroke that firms up during aggressive movements to ensure controlled handling in off-road conditions.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford Bronco?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with a vehicle that already has a 4-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner tube and piston can continue to function properly.

Does this include all necessary hardware for installation?
Yes, this kit includes two shocks along with the necessary bushings and mounting hardware to replace your factory front shocks.
