Part Number: RS55246

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines entry-level performance by utilizing a patented progressive engagement valving system to minimize harshness on the road. Designed specifically for the 1997-2002 Ford Expedition 4WD, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks provide a significant upgrade over factory units by balancing daily driving comfort with rugged durability. The heavy-duty construction ensures the shock remains resilient against debris and impacts, making it an ideal solution for owners seeking a reliable, smooth-riding replacement for stock-height vehicles.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure controlled handling during cornering and smooth absorption of large bumps.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade during spirited driving.
• Protective Boot Included: A high-quality red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against dirt and moisture.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Piston Seal: A specialized reinforced seal provides a tighter interface between the piston and pressure tube to ensure consistent performance across extreme temperature ranges.
