Rancho RS5000X 0″ Lift Shocks for 2001-2006 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Part Number: RS55229

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for the 2001-2006 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design, these shocks focus on delivering consistent damping and durability for daily driving and light off-road use. By optimizing the transition between compression and rebound, the RS5000X eliminates the harshness often associated with factory replacements, providing a smooth, controlled stance at stock height.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual reduction in initial impacts to ensure a smoother ride over varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging provides a consistent response and prevents oil foaming to ensure reliable damping performance under heat.
• Twin-Tube Body: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A hardened 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life against road debris and salt.
