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

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to enhance the ride quality of your Ford F-250. Engineered specifically for vehicles with a 3-inch front lift, these shocks feature a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This setup provides a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use and work applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a soft initial response to ensure smooth highway cruising and reduced driver fatigue.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade during spirited driving.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch outer tube diameter provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and dent-resistant durability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a truck that already has 3 inches of front lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; if the outer tube is dented by debris, the inner working cylinder remains protected, ensuring the shock continues to function.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55136) includes two front shocks for a complete axle installation.
