Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 2005-2006 Ford F-550

Part Number: RS55042

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design to provide exceptional durability and ride quality for your Ford F-550. Engineered to replace factory dampeners at stock ride height, these shocks feature a progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This setup is specifically tuned to handle the heavy-duty requirements of the F-550 chassis, ensuring consistent control and smooth street comfort under varying load conditions.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping forces to ensure reduced harshness on rough terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping response to ensure reduced aeration and foaming during heavy-duty cycles.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: A heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability against pitting and corrosion.
• Glass-Filled Fluoro-Ethylene Seal: High-performance sealing material provides a low-friction interface to ensure a longer service life and consistent internal pressure.
