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

Part Number: RS55185

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the handling and ride quality of your Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Designed for vehicles at stock ride height, these shocks feature a twin-tube gas pressurized design that provides consistent performance and durability during both daily commuting and light off-road use. By minimizing fluid aeration, the RS5000X ensures a smooth, controlled ride that eliminates the harshness often associated with aged factory dampers.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure a comfortable street ride without sacrificing control during sudden maneuvers.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force and reduces oil foaming to ensure fade-free performance in various temperature ranges.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and a longer service life.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure seal integrity in harsh environments.
