Rancho RS5000X 4.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2015-2018 Ford F-150 2WD

Part Number: RS55838

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an advanced Cross-Tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your lifted Ford F-150. Engineered specifically for vehicles with 4.5 inches of front lift, these shocks balance rugged off-road durability with smooth, controlled street performance. The gas-pressurized twin-tube construction provides excellent dent resistance and consistent damping, making it the ideal solution for daily drivers that encounter harsh job sites or weekend trails.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth ride over varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance during spirited driving.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and longer service life.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A specialized surface treatment provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with a 4.5-inch lift kit to ensure the piston operates within its optimal travel range.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55838_n434) includes 2 shocks for the front of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of a twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-roading; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder (where the piston moves) remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
