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

Part Number: RS55165

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your lifted Ford truck. Utilizing a unique CrossTune Technology, these twin-tube shocks manage the transition between on-road comfort and off-road control by utilizing a progressive engagement valving system. This set is specifically configured for vehicles with a 4-inch lift, ensuring the piston operates within the optimal range to prevent bottoming out or overextension during suspension travel.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique base valve system provides a progressive engagement curve to ensure smooth highway cruising while maintaining firm control during off-road impacts.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping performance.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: 150 PSI gas charge provides a quicker response time and minimizes aeration to ensure fade-free performance in demanding environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with a truck that already has a 4-inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger body and a patented valving system that handles the increased leverage of lifted applications better than OE-replacement shocks.

Are the shock boots included?
Yes, this set includes Rancho’s signature red protective boots to help shield the piston rods from debris and contaminants.
