Rancho RS5000X 4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1980-1996 Ford F-100, F-150 4WD

Part Number: RS55117

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features a unique Cross-Tuned technology that utilizes a progressive engagement valving system to improve ride quality on and off the road. Designed specifically for Ford and International vehicles with 4 inches of front lift, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks provide consistent damping and durability. The increased fluid capacity and robust construction ensure these shocks handle the stresses of oversized tires and rugged terrain while maintaining street-friendly comfort.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure optimal control during high-velocity impacts.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and protection against corrosion to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Gas Pressurized Construction: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance in various temperatures.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s patented Cross-Tuned valving allows the shock to transition seamlessly between smooth highway cruising and aggressive off-road damping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to work with vehicles that already have a 4-inch front suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger body and a unique valving system that reduces “shock fade” and provides better control when driving with larger tires.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, these shocks include Rancho’s signature red protective boots to keep debris away from the piston rod and seals.
