Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1999-2004 Ford F-350 4WD

Part Number: RS55264

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features a cross-tuned twin-tube design engineered to enhance the handling and ride quality of your Ford F-350. By utilizing a unique valving system that minimizes aeration, these shocks provide consistent damping performance and smooth street comfort even under heavy loads. Configured specifically for 2.5 inches of front lift, they serve as a durable solution for leveled or lifted Super Duty trucks requiring reliable off-road capability without sacrificing daily drivability.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides increased control during high-velocity impacts to ensure a smooth transition between street and trail.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent damping performance in varying temperatures.
• 2.25-inch Reserve Tube: A large capacity twin-tube body provides increased oil volume for better heat dissipation to ensure long-term durability during towing or hauling.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-350?
No, these shocks do not provide the lift themselves; they are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a truck already equipped with 2.5 inches of front lift height.

Are the dust boots included with the RS55264?
Yes, these shocks come standard with Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rod from debris.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard shock?
The RS5000X features a larger body and specialized valving that reduces “shock fade” by managing heat and air-to-oil mixing more effectively than OE replacements.
