Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport

Part Number: RS55229

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented Cross-Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade in handling and control for your Ford Explorer Sport. Specifically engineered for vehicles at stock ride height, these gas-pressurized twin-tube shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes foaming and aeration. This ensures a consistent, smooth street ride while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use and daily commuting.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique progressive engagement valving system provides custom-tuned damping to ensure responsive handling across varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent performance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides a reduction in fluid aeration to ensure immediate shock response and reduced fade.
