Rancho RS5000X 3-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1987-1996 Ford F-250 2WD

Part Number: RS55117

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide exceptional durability and smooth street comfort for your Ford F-250. Engineered specifically for vehicles with 3-4 inches of front lift, these shocks feature a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This gas-pressurized solution is ideal for daily driving and light off-road use, ensuring your classic heavy-duty truck maintains a controlled, stable ride regardless of the terrain.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized twin-tube valving system provides a custom-tuned ride for lifted applications to ensure consistent handling on and off-road.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: The application-specific internal tuning provides a smooth transition during compression to ensure reduced harshness over small bumps.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure gas charge provides a minimized air-to-oil mixture to ensure rapid response and reduced fade during spirited driving.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.
