Part Number: RS55602

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages a unique Progressive Engagement Valving system to significantly improve handling and ride quality on your Ford Courier. Designed for vehicles with 0-2 inches of front lift, these twin-tube shocks utilize a large 2.25-inch body to increase fluid capacity and maintain cooler operating temperatures. This setup provides the perfect balance of rugged durability for light off-road use and smooth, controlled comfort for daily street driving.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned internal shim stack provides a gradual transition of damping force to ensure a smooth ride over small bumps while maintaining control during heavy impacts.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging minimizes aeration and shock fade to ensure consistent performance during extended driving periods.
• 2.25-inch Shock Body: An oversized outer housing increases oil capacity and surface area to provide superior heat dissipation for maximum longevity.
• Protective Boot Included: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod from debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.
