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

Part Number: RS55185

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the standard for twin-tube performance, offering a significant upgrade for your 2001-2003 Ford Explorer Sport. Utilizing a unique CrossTune Technology, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable ride on the street while maintaining the durability needed for light off-road use. By optimizing the transition between valve stages, the RS5000X eliminates the harshness often found in factory dampers, ensuring a consistent and controlled driving experience.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique valve base system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth transition between street comfort and off-road control.
• 2.25-inch Reserve Tube: A larger fluid capacity provides better heat dissipation to ensure consistent damping performance during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior resistance to scuffs and corrosion to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Gas Pressurization: A low-pressure nitrogen charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure the shock maintains its damping force under rapid cycling.
