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

Part Number: RS55237

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to enhance the ride quality of your lifted Ford Expedition. Specifically engineered for vehicles with a 4-inch lift, these shocks manage the increased unsprung weight of larger tire and wheel packages. The twin-tube gas-pressurized design provides a rugged outer shell for superior dent resistance and durability during off-road use while maintaining smooth street comfort.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition to firm damping to ensure controlled handling during aggressive maneuvers.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under high-cycle conditions.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures on long-distance washboard roads.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: Heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford Expedition by 4 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for a vehicle that already has a 4-inch suspension lift installed.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55237_n372) includes two front shocks to cover both the driver and passenger sides.

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 piston tube remains protected, ensuring the shock continues to function correctly.
