Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 2012-2016 Ford F-550 Cab & Chassis with ARHI

Part Number: RS55042

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for the Ford F-550 Super Duty. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with a larger 2.25-inch body, these shocks offer increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use. By integrating Rancho’s Cross-Tuned technology and a unique progressive engagement valving system, these shocks effectively minimize harshness and vibration for a smoother street experience without sacrificing the durability required for commercial applications.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure consistent control across varying road surfaces.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during prolonged operation.
• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression disk provides early engagement of the valving to ensure a smooth transition and reduced body roll.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style mounts provide extra strength and structural integrity to ensure long-term durability under heavy loads.

The twin-tube design is highly durable; even if the outer body is dented by road debris, the internal piston can continue to function, making it ideal for work trucks and commercial environments.

Do these shocks come with boots?
Yes, these Rancho RS5000X shocks include protective red boots to keep dirt and debris away from the piston rod and seals.
