Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1990-1993 Ford Explorer 4WD

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to enhance the handling and ride quality of your 4WD Ford Explorer. Designed for vehicles configured with a 2.5-inch front lift, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks provide a significant upgrade in durability and impact absorption. The RS5000X is engineered to minimize aeration and shock fade, ensuring consistent performance during both daily commuting and light off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a smooth transition between damping circuits to ensure a comfortable street ride and controlled off-road performance.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure zero aeration and reduced shock fade during rapid cycling.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: Heavy-duty construction provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure seal longevity and smooth operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford Explorer?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly on a vehicle that already has a 2.5-inch lift kit installed.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, based on the SKU configuration, this product includes two (2) front shock absorbers.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
