Rancho RS5000X 0-2″ Lift Shocks for 1986-1998 Ford F-350 4WD Single Rear Wheel

Part Number: RS55165

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your Ford F-350. Engineered for vehicles with 0-2 inches of lift, these shocks utilize a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This setup provides exceptional durability and dent resistance for heavy-duty work trucks, ensuring smooth street comfort without sacrificing off-road stability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound discs provide a smooth transition between damping cycles to ensure consistent ride quality over varying terrain.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure Design: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced shock fade.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-performance polyurethane mounting points provide enhanced durability and vibration dampening to ensure a quiet, controlled cabin environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-350?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles already equipped with 0-2 inches of lift to ensure the piston operates within the correct travel range.

Are these shocks suitable for Single Rear Wheel (SRW) models only?
Yes, this specific configuration is validated for the 1986-1998 Ford F-350 4WD with Single Rear Wheels as per the fitment specifications.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design over a monotube?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable for work trucks; the outer reserve tube can take a dent from road debris without affecting the inner pressure tube or piston movement.
