Rancho RS5000X 5-6″ Lift Shocks for 2005-2016 Ford F-250 4WD

Part Number: RS55048

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for lifted Ford F-250 Super Duty trucks. Engineered specifically for vehicles with 5-6 inches of suspension lift, these shocks balance rugged off-road durability with smooth highway manners. By incorporating a unique valving system that minimizes foam and aeration, these shocks ensure consistent damping performance during heavy-duty use or towing.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure driver comfort on varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-velocity nitrogen gas charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent hydraulic damping under heavy loads.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure lower operating temperatures during prolonged cycles.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: 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 Ford F-250?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to accommodate Ford F-250 models that already have a 5-6 inch suspension lift installed.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard twin-tube shock?
The RS5000X features a larger body and a unique “Cross-Tuned” valving system that handles the increased leverage and weight of larger tire packages more effectively than OE-style replacements.

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