Rancho RS5000X 3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1981-1996 Ford F-150 4WD

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide superior handling and durability for your Ford F-150. Specifically configured for 3-inch front lift applications, these shocks bridge the gap between rugged off-road performance and smooth street comfort. By utilizing a progressive engagement valving system, the RS5000X minimizes harsh impacts while maintaining precise control during low-speed maneuvers.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure a comfortable ride on paved surfaces.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Nitrogen gas charge provides consistent damping force and reduces aeration to ensure reliable performance during sustained cycling.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Self-Lubricating Seal: A specialized premium seal provides a clean wiping action to ensure the internal oil stays contained and contaminants stay out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these shocks provide the 3 inches of lift?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically lengthened and valved to work with a vehicle that has already been equipped with a 3-inch lift kit.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design offers an outer reserve tube that protects the inner working cylinder from dents and rock chips, ensuring the shock continues to function even in rugged off-road conditions.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, Rancho RS5000X shocks include protective red boots to shield the piston rod from debris and corrosion.
