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

Part Number: RS55261

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced Cross-Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade for your lifted Ford Super Duty. Engineered for durability and smooth street comfort, these twin-tube shocks are specifically configured for 5-inch rear lifts to maintain optimal suspension travel. The gas-pressurized design reduces fluid aeration, ensuring consistent damping performance whether you are commuting or hauling heavy loads.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive engagement to ensure a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining control during large impacts.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter outer tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-lasting performance in harsh environments.
• Nitrogen Gas Charging: Pressurized gas displacement provides a reduction in shock fade and foaming to ensure consistent damping under high-load conditions.
• Protective Boot: A high-quality polyvinyl accordion boot provides a shield for the shock rod to ensure the internal seals remain free from debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable; if the outer body is dented by a rock or debris, the internal piston remains functional, ensuring you aren’t stranded during off-road use.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55261) includes a pair of two (2) rear shocks for a complete axle installation.
