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

Part Number: RS55112

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced Cross-Tuning technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Ford F-150. Specifically valved for vehicles with a 3-inch rear lift, these shocks utilize a progressive engagement system to maintain smooth street manners while handling off-road impacts. The durable twin-tube design is engineered to resist internal damage from trail debris, ensuring consistent performance in rugged environments.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve base system provides a high-speed compression circuit and a progressive rebound circuit to ensure stable handling on varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping force during spirited driving.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against mud and rocks.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod provides increased tensile strength and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to accommodate a Ford F-150 that has already been equipped with a 3-inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design allows for an outer tube to act as a reservoir for oil, protecting the inner working cylinder from dents or trail damage that might otherwise seize a monotube shock.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55112_n411) includes two rear shocks to complete the rear axle of your vehicle.
