Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series defines the standard for durability and ride quality on your Ford Explorer or Mercury Mountaineer.

Features

• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides a consistent damping force to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving or heavy loads.
• Twin-Tube Body: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch outer tube provides physical protection for the internal piston to ensure reliable operation even if the outer shell is dented.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the polished piston rod from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.
