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

Part Number: RS55112

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative Cross-Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Ford F-250. Engineered with a large 2.25-inch reserve tube, these twin-tube shocks are designed to handle the increased demands of a 3-inch rear lift while maintaining a smooth, controlled street ride. This system effectively manages the transition between on-road comfort and off-road durability, making it an ideal solution for daily-driven trucks that require extra clearance.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve base system provides a progressive engagement to ensure consistent ride quality across varying terrains.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and reduced fade during heavy use.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot protects the 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck by 3 inches?
No, these shocks are designed to be installed on a truck that already has a 3-inch lift kit installed. They do not create lift themselves but are long enough to accommodate the increased distance between the mounting points.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger body and Cross-Tuned valving, which offers better heat dissipation and a more refined damping curve than standard replacement shocks.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55112_n484) includes two rear shocks.
