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

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for leveled or lifted trucks. Engineered to handle the increased unsprung mass of larger wheel and tire combinations, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This specific set is configured for vehicles with a 3-inch lift, ensuring the piston operates within its ideal range for maximum durability and comfort.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a smooth transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure consistent comfort on varied road surfaces.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Velocity Sensitive Orifice: Application-specific tuning provides tailored resistance based on piston speed to ensure stability during cornering and towing.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide superior structural integrity to ensure longevity under high-stress off-road conditions.
