Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1997-2003 Ford F-150 2WD

Part Number: RS55236

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your 1997-2003 Ford F-150 2WD. Engineered with a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the durability needed for light off-road use. By minimizing aeration and shock fade through high-pressure nitrogen gas charging, the RS5000X ensures consistent damping performance for daily driving and work applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides increased control during high-velocity impacts to ensure a smooth transition between comfort and firm handling.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure gas charge minimizes oil foaming and aeration provides consistent damping force to ensure fade-free performance in varying temperatures.
• Enlarged 2.25-inch Shock Body: A larger fluid capacity housing provides increased heat dissipation to ensure the shock remains cool under heavy loads.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-150?
No, these shocks are configured for vehicles with 0″ of rear lift (stock height) and do not provide any lift themselves.

How does the RS5000X differ from the original RS5000?
The RS5000X features a larger body and a more advanced valving system that reduces “harshness” while improving handling over the original twin-tube design.

Do these include the signature red boots?
Yes, all Rancho RS5000X shocks include the protective red poly-vinyl boots to shield the piston rod from debris.
