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

Part Number: RS55185

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a sophisticated Progressive Engagement Valving system to significantly improve ride quality on both the street and the trail. Designed for the 1990-1993 Ford Explorer 4WD, these rear shocks are specifically configured for 2.5-inch lift heights to maintain proper suspension travel. The twin-tube gas pressurized design provides a durable, dent-resistant outer shell while ensuring smooth, consistent damping performance during daily driving and light off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal flow system provides a gradual increase in damping force to ensure a smooth transition between varied road surfaces.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under high-cycle conditions.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced end loops provide maximum structural integrity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the oil seal remains free of debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for a 2.5-inch lift to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range for the modified suspension height.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner tube remains functional, allowing the shock to continue operating safely.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55185) includes a pair of two (2) rear shocks for a complete axle installation.
