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

Part Number: RS55165

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series gas-pressurized shock absorber is engineered to provide enhanced durability and ride quality for your Ford F-250. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design and Progressive Engagement Valving, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with a 4-inch front lift. This setup effectively manages the increased unsprung weight of larger tire packages while maintaining smooth street comfort and reliable off-road performance.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides a soft ride during initial travel to ensure comfort on washboard roads.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance during spirited driving.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures under heavy loads.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these shocks sold as a pair?

What is the benefit of the Progressive Engagement Valving?
It allows the shock to remain supple over small bumps for highway comfort while rapidly increasing damping force over large obstacles to prevent bottoming out.
