Part Number: RS55126

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced CrossTune technology to provide a significant upgrade over factory damping for your Ford Ranger. Designed with a progressive engagement valving system, these shocks deliver smooth street comfort while maintaining firm control during off-road excursions. This gas-pressurized twin-tube design is engineered to resist internal cavitation, ensuring consistent performance and durability for vehicles with up to 1.5 inches of rear lift.

Features

• CrossTune Technology: A unique progressive valving system provides a custom-tuned damping curve to ensure superior control on both paved roads and rugged terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under load.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: Heavy-duty construction provides resistance against scuffs and corrosion to ensure the integrity of the internal seals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford Ranger?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to accommodate Ford Ranger 4WD models that have between 0 and 1.5 inches of rear lift installed.

How does the gas pressurization help my ride?
The nitrogen gas charge keeps the internal hydraulic oil under pressure, which prevents the oil from foaming (aeration) during rapid movement, maintaining consistent damping force.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, based on the SKU 2xRS55126, this product listing includes a pair (2) of rear shocks for a complete axle upgrade.
