Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your 2WD Ford Ranger or Mazda B-Series. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with Cross-Tuned technology, these shocks manage energy transfer effectively to reduce harshness over uneven terrain. This gas-pressurized solution is ideal for daily driving and light work applications, ensuring consistent damping performance and improved vehicle stability at stock ride height.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A unique valve system provides a progressive engagement curve to ensure smooth street comfort and controlled handling on rough surfaces.
• Gas Pressurized Design: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance during extended use.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: A 16mm specialized surface treatment provides superior corrosion resistance and seal lubrication to ensure a long service life in harsh environments.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier against road debris and moisture to ensure the rod and oil seal remain undamaged.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my vehicle?
No, these shocks are configured for a 0-inch lift and are designed to replace factory-length shocks without changing the ride height.

Are these sold as a pair or individually?
This specific SKU includes 2 shocks, providing a complete solution for your front axle.

What is the benefit of the gas charge in the RS5000X?
The nitrogen gas charge keeps the internal oil under pressure, which prevents the oil from foaming (aeration) during rapid movement, maintaining consistent valving control.
