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

Part Number: RS55233 / RS55246

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series delivers a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design engineered to improve both on-road comfort and off-road durability for your Ford Expedition. Featuring Rancho’s exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving, these shocks are specifically tuned to reduce harshness during initial impacts while maintaining firm control during spirited driving. This complete set is configured for vehicles at factory ride height (0″ lift), providing a significant upgrade over stock dampers by minimizing body roll and improving tire-to-road contact.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides restricted oil flow at high speeds to ensure consistent damping and reduced vehicle sway.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a quicker response time and prevents oil foaming to ensure fade-free performance in varying temperatures.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch outer tube diameter provides increased oil capacity and physical protection for the internal piston to ensure long-term durability against trail debris.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior tensile strength and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s application-specific tuning ensures that the valving is matched exactly to the weight and geometry of the Ford chassis rather than a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
• Performance Benefit: Drivers will experience a “best of both worlds” ride—supple enough to soak up highway expansion joints but firm enough to handle light towing and off-road exploration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford Expedition?
No, these shocks are configured for 0″ of lift and are designed to replace factory-length dampers. They do not provide any lift height on their own.

Are these shocks compatible with Air Leveling suspension?
No, these shocks are specifically designed for models without Air Leveling systems.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard twin-tube shock?
The RS5000X features Progressive Engagement Valving, which uses a patented internal design to transition more smoothly between low and high-speed damping, reducing the “harshness” often felt in budget shocks.
