Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to deliver a smooth, controlled ride on your Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Engineered for durability, these twin-tube shocks are gas-pressurized to minimize aeration and foaming during spirited driving. This configuration is specifically valved for vehicles with 1 to 2.5 inches of front lift, providing a reliable solution for maintaining ride quality on a leveled or lifted daily driver.

Features

• Progressive Valving: A specialized internal disc pack provides custom-tuned damping to ensure smooth street comfort and responsive handling.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging provides a consistent damping force to ensure fade-free performance under varied load conditions.
• Twin-Tube Construction: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the polished piston rod from debris to ensure the longevity of the internal seals.
