Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1999-2004 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD

Part Number: RS55254

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative CrossTune Technology valve system to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping. Engineered specifically for the Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks deliver exceptional durability and dent resistance for heavy-duty work environments. By utilizing a larger 2.25-inch reserve tube, the RS5000X increases oil capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures and consistent performance during towing or hauling. This setup is configured for 2.5 inches of rear lift, providing the necessary travel for leveled or lifted applications.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a smooth transition between high and low-speed impacts to ensure consistent ride quality on varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Design: A 2.25-inch outer reserve tube provides increased oil volume to ensure effective heat dissipation and protection against internal damage from trail debris.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term sealing performance.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides reduced deflection and improved road feedback to ensure a more controlled driving experience.
