Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1997-1999 Ford F-250 2WD

Part Number: RS55235

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a specialized Progressive Engagement Valving system to provide a smooth, controlled ride for your Ford F-250. Designed as a direct replacement for stock height vehicles, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks are engineered to reduce harshness and improve handling on and off-road. The durable construction and oversized shock body ensure consistent performance under various load conditions, making them an ideal upgrade for daily driving and light-duty work.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides increased control as shock speed increases to ensure a smooth ride during normal cruising and firm handling during maneuvers.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube Design: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance in high-heat environments.
• Durable Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides protection for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity and prevent debris damage.
