Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1977-1979 Ford F-100, F-150 4WD

Part Number: RS55117

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented Progressive Engagement Valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your 4WD classic. Designed as a direct-fit solution for stock height vehicles, these twin-tube shocks provide exceptional durability and dent resistance for both on-road commuting and light trail use. By minimizing harsh impacts through a gas-pressurized design, the RS5000X ensures a smooth, controlled street performance while maintaining the ruggedness required for vintage utility vehicles.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and outer wall protection to ensure consistent performance even if the outer body is dented.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Gas Pressurization: Nitrogen gas charging reduces aeration and foaming to ensure immediate damping response during rapid suspension cycles.
