Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 2008-2016 Ford F-450

Part Number: RS55042

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the standard for twin-tube performance, offering a significant upgrade for the 2008-2016 Ford F-450. Engineered with a unique cross-tuned valve system, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable ride on the highway while maintaining the durability required for heavy-duty work. Designed for stock height applications, they deliver a balanced feel that minimizes harshness over road imperfections without sacrificing control.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual reduction in initial impact harshness to ensure a smoother ride during daily driving.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent response and prevents oil foaming to ensure fade-free performance under load.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced mounting tabs provide extra strength at critical stress points to ensure long-term durability in heavy-duty towing applications.
• Nitrosyl-Sealed Piston: A specialized 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod provides a smooth surface for the seal to ensure a leak-proof lifespan.
