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

Part Number: RS55043 / RS55254

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Ford F-350. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically configured for vehicles with a 2.5-inch lift. This setup effectively manages the increased unsprung weight of heavy-duty applications, ensuring a smooth street feel while maintaining rugged off-road composure.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure consistent comfort on varied terrain.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: High-velocity nitrogen gas charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure stable performance during heavy-duty cycling.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance and structural integrity to ensure long-term seal life.
• Protective Boot: Included polyvinyl accordion bellows provide a physical barrier against road debris and mud to ensure the chrome rod remains free of pitting.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Rancho’s Cross-Tuned technology optimizes the relationship between the piston and the base valve for better control across the entire stroke.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-350?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-corrected to work with a vehicle already equipped with a 2.5-inch suspension lift.

Are these compatible with Chassis Cab models?
No, these units are designed specifically for the standard 4WD pickup configurations and exclude Chassis Cab models.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X gas charging?
The nitrogen gas charge minimizes the mixing of oil and air (foaming), which prevents the shocks from losing damping effectiveness during rapid cycling or heavy use.
