Rancho RS5000X 0″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1975-1991 Ford E-100, E-150

Part Number: RS55117

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series features a sophisticated gas-pressurized twin-tube design engineered to improve both on-road comfort and off-road durability. By utilizing a unique Cross-Tune Technology, these shocks manage energy transfer more effectively to reduce harshness and prevent aeration during spirited driving. This pair of rear shocks is specifically valved to provide a smooth, controlled ride for classic Ford and International utility vehicles at stock ride height.

Features

• Cross-Tune Technology: A progressive engagement valving system provides a larger tuning range to ensure consistent control across varying terrain types.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge minimizes oil foaming and cavitation to ensure fade-free performance during extended use.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and outer-wall protection to ensure the internal piston remains functional even if the outer shell is dented.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks are configured for vehicles at 0-inches of rear lift. They are designed to replace factory-length shocks and do not provide any lift height on their own.

What is the benefit of the gas charge in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge puts the internal hydraulic fluid under pressure, which prevents the oil from foaming (aeration) during rapid movement, maintaining consistent damping performance.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS55117_n536) includes exactly 2 shocks for the rear of your vehicle.
