Rancho RS5000X 0″ Lift Shocks for 2017-2020 Ford F-450 2WD

Part Number: RS55042

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for the Ford F-450 2WD. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with Progressive Engagement Valving, these shocks effectively manage the heavy unsprung weight of Super Duty applications. By reducing harshness during initial impacts and providing firm control during body roll, the RS5000X ensures a balanced and comfortable driving experience on the street or the job site.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned shim stack provides a soft ride during slow travel and firm control during high-speed impacts to ensure consistent handling across varying road surfaces.
• Large Shock Body: The 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced fade during heavy-duty hauling.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A 150 PSI gas charge minimizes air-to-oil mixture (aeration) to ensure immediate damping response and eliminate performance lag.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-450?
No, these shocks are configured for 0-inch lift heights and are designed to replace factory-length shocks without changing the vehicle’s ride height.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X over a standard twin-tube shock?
The RS5000X features a larger body and specialized valving that minimizes oil foaming, providing more consistent damping under heavy loads compared to generic replacement shocks.

Are the shock boots required for installation?
The included red boots are recommended as they protect the nitro-carburized rod from road debris and salt, extending the life of the internal seals.
