Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 2012-2016 Ford F-450 Cab & Chassis with ARHI

Part Number: RS55042

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for heavy-duty work trucks. Utilizing a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design, these shocks are specifically valved to handle the unique demands of the Ford F-450/F-550 chassis. By reducing aeration and shock fade, this setup ensures consistent damping performance during long hauls and demanding job site conditions. This pair of front shocks is configured for stock-height vehicles (0″ lift), offering a smooth street feel without sacrificing the ruggedness required for Cab & Chassis applications.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition through the stroke to ensure maximum comfort during daily driving.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent performance under heavy loads.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty piston rod provides increased structural rigidity and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Self-Lubricating Seal: A specialized graphite-filled seal provides reduced friction and heat buildup to ensure a longer service life for the shock absorber.
