Rancho RS5000X 5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2011-2016 Ford F-250 4WD

Part Number: RS55044

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for lifted Ford Super Duty trucks. Specifically configured for 5-inch front lifts, these gas-pressurized shocks utilize a unique progressive engagement valving system to minimize harshness during initial impacts. This ensures a smooth street ride while maintaining the rugged dent resistance required for off-road environments.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve system provides a progressive damping curve to ensure smooth comfort on highways and controlled stability on rough terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance during spirited driving.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch outer tube provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is damaged.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-250/F-350?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically sized and valved to work with vehicles that already have a 5-inch front lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design for my truck?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for heavy-duty trucks; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the inner cylinder is protected, allowing the shock to continue functioning properly.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55044) includes a pair of front shocks to cover both the driver and passenger sides of your vehicle.
