Part Number: RS55042

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for the Ford F-550 Cab & Chassis. Utilizing advanced Cross-Tune Technology, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks deliver consistent damping control whether the vehicle is loaded or empty. Designed as a direct bolt-on solution for stock-height trucks, they provide the ruggedness required for heavy-duty work environments while maintaining smooth street comfort.

Features

• Cross-Tune Technology: A unique valve base design provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure a balanced ride across varying terrain.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: The nitrogen gas-charged 2.25-inch body provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during heavy-duty cycles.
• All-Weather Fluid: Specialized friction-reducing modifiers provide resistance to extreme temperature changes to ensure smooth piston travel in any climate.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.
