Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1995-2001 Ford Explorer

Part Number: RS55229

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to enhance the ride quality of your Ford Explorer at stock height. By integrating a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks effectively manage initial impacts and road chatter while maintaining firm control during aggressive maneuvers. This gas-pressurized solution is engineered to provide a significant upgrade over factory dampers, ensuring consistent performance and durability for daily driving and light trail use.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized twin-tube valving system provides customized damping curves to ensure a smooth street ride and controlled off-road handling.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under high-cycle conditions.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris and road salt.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide rapid response to road irregularities to ensure maximum tire-to-ground contact.
