Rancho RS5000X 1-2.5″ Lift Shocks for 1997-1999 Ford F-250 4WD

Part Number: RS55372

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a sophisticated twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Ford F-250 4WD. Engineered with Rancho’s CrossTune Technology, these shocks feature a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes initial harshness while maintaining control during heavy impacts. This configuration is specifically valved for vehicles with 1 to 2.5 inches of lift, ensuring the suspension maintains optimal travel and comfort during both daily commuting and light-duty work tasks.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a smooth transition between compression and rebound to ensure consistent handling across varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced fade during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-performance polyurethane mounts provide enhanced durability and reduced deflection to ensure precise suspension feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-250?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that have already been modified with a 1-inch to 2.5-inch suspension lift.

Are these shocks compatible with the heavy-duty F-250 models?
These are designed specifically for the Light Duty F-250 models (under 8,500 lb GVW). They are not intended for use on Super Duty platforms or vehicles with rear air leveling systems.

What is the benefit of the included shock boots?
The included boots protect the nitro-carburized piston rod from road debris, mud, and salt, which extends the life of the internal seals and prevents premature leaking.
