Part Number: RS55237

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X Series gas-pressurized shocks deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Ford F-250. Engineered with CrossTune Technology, these shocks utilize a unique valving system that provides a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining firm control during off-road use. Specifically configured for vehicles with a 4-inch front lift, they ensure your suspension maintains proper travel and damping characteristics under various load conditions.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a smooth transition between compression and rebound to ensure consistent comfort on varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging reduces aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and prolonged seal life.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A specialized surface treatment resists scuffs and corrosion to ensure long-term structural integrity in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-250?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically designed and valved to work on vehicles already equipped with a 4-inch front lift kit.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas-pressurized design?
The gas pressurization minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which ensures the shock maintains its damping force even when working hard on rough roads.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55237_n461) includes a pair (2) of front shocks.
