Rancho RS5000X 4″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1997-2001 Ford F-150 2WD

Part Number: RS55234

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series provides a significant upgrade for the 1997-2001 Ford F-150 2WD, specifically engineered for vehicles equipped with a 4-inch rear lift. Utilizing a unique CrossTune Technology, these twin-tube shocks manage the increased unsprung weight of larger tire packages and lift components. This system is designed to provide a smooth, consistent ride on the street while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use and work applications.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure consistent control across varying terrain and speeds.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a quicker response time and reduces aeration to ensure fade-free performance during repetitive cycling.
• Protective Boot Included: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.
• All-Weather Fluid: Specialized synthetic oil contains modifiers to provide consistent viscosity in extreme temperatures to ensure predictable damping from -40 to 248 degrees Fahrenheit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-150?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function on a vehicle that has already been equipped with a 4-inch rear lift kit.

What is the benefit of the gas charge in the RS5000X?
The 150-PSI nitrogen charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which ensures the shock maintains its damping force even during spirited driving or on rough roads.

Do these fit the F-150 7700 GVW (Heavy Duty) models?
No, these shocks are specifically excluded for use on the 7700 GVW payload package models.
