Rancho RS5000X 0-1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1991-1994 Ford Explorer

Part Number: RS55039

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the entry-level shock absorber by utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design that balances on-road comfort with off-road durability. Specifically engineered for the 1991-1994 Ford Explorer and Mazda B-Series pickups, these shocks feature a unique Cross-Tune Technology that optimizes the valving for consistent performance across varying terrains. Whether you are maintaining a stock height or adding a 1.5-inch leveling kit, these shocks provide the necessary damping control to eliminate “mushy” handling and improve chassis stability.

Features

• Cross-Tune Technology: A progressive rebound and compression disc system provides custom-tuned damping to ensure a smooth ride on pavement and controlled articulation off-road.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during spirited driving.
• 1 3/16-inch Bore: The large internal piston diameter provides increased fluid capacity to ensure better heat dissipation and long-term durability.
• Protective Boot: A durable red polyvinyl accordion boot provides protection for the piston rod to ensure the seal remains free from debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct travel lengths to accommodate vehicles with 0 to 1.5 inches of front-end lift.

What is the benefit of the gas charge in a twin-tube shock?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which prevents the shock from losing its damping effectiveness during rapid cycling.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55039) includes a pair of two shocks for the front of your vehicle.
