Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for both on-road and off-road environments. Engineered with a large 2.25-inch body, these shocks offer increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during rugged use. This complete set of four shocks is specifically valved to handle the unique suspension geometry of the Ford Ranger and Mercury Mountaineer, delivering a smooth street feel while maintaining the durability required for light trail work.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition during impacts to ensure improved control on uneven terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under load.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style end mounts provide maximum structural integrity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot Included: High-quality polyvinyl bellows provide a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure seal longevity against debris and salt.
