Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2005-2016 Ford F-250/F-350 4WD

Part Number: RS55043

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative CrossTune Technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Ford Super Duty. Engineered for durability and smooth street comfort, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes aeration and shock fade. Configured specifically for 2.5-inch front lift heights, they provide the necessary travel and control required for leveled or lifted applications. These shocks are the ideal solution for drivers seeking a balance between rugged off-road capability and refined highway manners.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: Progressive engagement valving provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure optimal control during both high and low-speed suspension movements.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and consistent damping performance.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides superior scuff resistance and corrosion protection to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Protective Boot: An included black polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against debris to ensure the piston rod and oil seal remain free of contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured with the correct extended and compressed lengths to accommodate a truck already equipped with a 2.5-inch front lift.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is focused on durability and comfort. The outer tube protects the inner working components from trail damage, while the gas charging reduces fluid foaming for more consistent control.

Are these compatible with Chassis Cab models?
No, these units are designed for standard pickup models and are listed to exclude Chassis Cab configurations.
