Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1997-2002 Ford Expedition 4WD

Part Number: RS55233

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly reduce harshness during initial impacts. Designed for the 1997-2002 Ford Expedition 4WD, these shocks feature a cross-tuned twin-tube design that provides exceptional durability and dent resistance for off-road environments. By managing fluid flow more effectively than standard shocks, the RS5000X ensures a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the ruggedness required for light-duty work and trail use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides restricted flow at low speeds and increased flow at high speeds to ensure a smooth ride without sacrificing control.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping performance.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density polyurethane material provides a secure mounting interface to ensure reduced noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) during articulation.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure longevity against rocks, mud, and debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford Expedition?
No, these shocks are configured for 0″ of lift and are designed to replace the factory-length dampers at stock ride height.

What does “Progressive Engagement Valving” mean?
It is a technical valving setup that reacts to the speed of the impact, allowing the shock to be soft over small bumps but firm during heavy cornering or large hits.

Do these include the mounting hardware?
Yes, these shocks come with the necessary polyurethane bushings and sleeves required for a standard installation on the specified vehicles.
