Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1975-1991 Ford E-350

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series provides a significant upgrade for the 1975-1991 Ford E-350, utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressure design to improve ride quality. Engineered for durability and dent resistance, these shocks feature a unique cross-tuned valve system that balances on-road comfort with off-road stability. This set is configured for stock ride height (0″ lift), ensuring a direct fit replacement that mitigates the harshness typically associated with heavy-duty van platforms.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping forces to ensure consistent control over varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during extended use.
• Heavy-Duty Body: A 2.25-inch twin-tube reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and physical protection to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is dented.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The 16mm hardened rod provides superior corrosion resistance and seal lubrication to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
