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

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to deliver enhanced ride quality and rugged durability for your 4WD vehicle. Specifically configured for 2.5-inch lift heights, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes harshness over rough terrain while maintaining smooth street manners. This complete set provides a consistent damping response, ensuring your vehicle remains composed during both daily commutes and off-road excursions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure a comfortable ride on diverse road surfaces.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during sustained cycling.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: Heavy-duty construction provides superior corrosion resistance and seal longevity to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically lengthened and valved to be configured for a vehicle that already has a 2.5-inch lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design offers excellent durability, as the outer reserve tube protects the inner pressure tube from dents or debris encountered during off-roading.

Are the boots included with these shocks?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from contaminants.
