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

Part Number: RS55117

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a patented progressive engagement valving system to significantly improve the ride quality of your lifted Ford F-250. Designed specifically for vehicles with 3 to 4 inches of lift, these shocks utilize a large 2.25-inch reserve tube to increase oil capacity and reduce internal heat. This twin-tube configuration is engineered for extreme durability and dent resistance, providing smooth street comfort and reliable performance during light off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping forces to ensure a controlled ride over varied terrain.
• 2.25-inch Reserve Tube: An increased fluid capacity design provides better heat dissipation to ensure consistent damping performance under heavy loads.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty strut rod provides superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term seal life.
• Gas Pressurization: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and hydraulic stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-250?
No, these shocks do not create lift; they are specifically valved and extended to accommodate a truck already equipped with a 3-4 inch suspension lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for work trucks; even if the outer body is dented by road debris, the inner working tube remains unaffected, ensuring you aren’t stranded.

Are the boots included with these shocks?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rods from dirt, salt, and debris.
