Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 2011-2016 Ford F-350 4WD

Part Number: RS55043

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Ford F-350. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 2.5-inch front lift, these twin-tube gas pressurized shocks utilize a progressive engagement valving system to manage heavy unsprung weight. This configuration ensures a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the rugged durability required for demanding work environments and off-road recovery tasks.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive valving system provides a precise balance of compression and rebound to ensure consistent control during varied driving conditions.
• Nitrogen Gas Charge: High-pressure gas displacement provides a prompt response to road irregularities to ensure reduced aeration and foaming.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the shock rod to ensure the oil seal remains free from debris and contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-350?
No, these shocks do not provide lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate a truck that has already been equipped with a 2.5-inch front lift kit.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55043) includes a pair of two front shocks to complete the front axle of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable for work trucks; even if the outer tube is dented by a rock or debris, the inner piston tube remains functional, allowing you to finish the job.
