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

Part Number: RS55044 / RS55261

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for heavy-duty Ford trucks. Engineered specifically for vehicles with a 5-inch lift, these shocks solve the harshness often associated with lifted suspensions by utilizing a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system. This setup offers a smooth, comfortable street ride while maintaining the durability required for off-road environments and work-site demands.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal velocity-sensitive disks provide a soft ride during initial travel to ensure comfort during daily commuting.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy hauling.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density mounting material provides enhanced durability compared to rubber to ensure reduced deflection and consistent handling.
