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

Part Number: RS55254

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to provide exceptional durability and smooth street comfort for your Ford Super Duty. Engineered to manage the increased unsprung weight of larger tires, these shocks feature a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This pair is specifically configured for 2.5 inches of rear lift, ensuring your truck maintains optimal damping control and a level stance during both daily commuting and light off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides a soft ride during normal travel to ensure maximum driver comfort on paved surfaces.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The nitrogen-charged 2.25-inch body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure consistent damping performance and resistance to shock fade.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides reduced vibration transfer to ensure a quieter and more controlled cabin experience.

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 2.5 inches of rear lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable; if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris while off-roading, the inner tube remains functional, ensuring you aren’t left stranded.

Do these come with boots?
Yes, these shocks include Rancho’s signature red protective boots to keep the piston rod clean and protected from road grime and salt.
