Rancho RS5000X 0-1.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1983-1997 Ford Ranger 4WD

Part Number: RS55039

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a Cross-Tuned twin-tube design to deliver a significant upgrade in ride quality for both on-road and off-road environments. Specifically configured for 0-1.5 inches of front lift, these shocks employ a unique valving system that minimizes foam and cavitation. The result is a durable, dent-resistant shock absorber that provides smooth street comfort while maintaining the necessary control for light trail use and utility work.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A proprietary internal valving system provides a custom-tuned ride to ensure consistent damping across varied terrain.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter outer tube provides increased oil capacity and physical durability to ensure performance even if the outer shell is dented.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The heavy-duty 16mm rod construction provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Full-Displaced Valving: Application-specific tuning provides better control of unsprung mass to ensure a more stable and predictable driving experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly with vehicles that have 0 to 1.5 inches of front lift installed via other means.

Are these sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU includes 2 shocks, providing a complete solution for the front axle of your vehicle.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is exceptionally durable for off-road use; if the outer body is dented by a rock, the inner cylinder (where the piston moves) remains unaffected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.
