Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1997 Ford F-250 4WD HD

Part Number: RS55165

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Ford F-250/F-350. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically calibrated to handle the weight and demands of heavy-duty 4WD applications at stock height. The gas-pressurized construction minimizes fluid aeration, ensuring consistent damping performance whether you are navigating highway commutes or rugged job sites.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuitry provides a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure maximum comfort during daily driving.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under heavy load.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide exceptional structural integrity to ensure longevity in harsh off-road environments.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during sustained use.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features Cross-Tuned technology and a larger body diameter, which allows for better heat dissipation and more refined valving compared to generic replacement shocks.

Are boots included with these shocks?
Yes, Rancho RS5000X shocks typically include protective red dust boots to shield the piston rod from debris.
