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

Part Number: RS55042

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefines the standard for twin-tube performance, specifically engineered to handle the heavy-duty demands of your Ford F-450. Utilizing a unique Cross-Tuned technology, these shocks provide a significant upgrade over factory units by managing high-velocity impacts with ease. The gas-pressurized design minimizes aeration and foaming, ensuring consistent damping and a smooth street ride even under heavy load or towing conditions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides early flow of fluid during initial impacts to ensure a smoother ride on rough pavement.
• Cross-Tuned Technology: Rancho’s exclusive valving system provides a balanced damping curve to ensure stability and control during both low-velocity and high-velocity movements.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressure: 150 PSI gas charge provides a consistent force against the oil to ensure zero aeration and reduced fade during long-haul driving.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm heavy-duty rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
