Part Number: RS55039

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series redefined entry-level performance by utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube gas pressurized design that prioritizes both durability and ride quality. Engineered for the 1990-1997 Ford Ranger 2WD, these shocks feature a unique Cross-Tuned valve system that provides a smooth, controlled feel during daily transit while maintaining the ruggedness needed for light off-road use. By minimizing aeration and fluid cavitation, the RS5000X ensures consistent damping performance for drivers seeking a reliable OE-replacement or upgrade at stock height.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide increased control at higher speeds to ensure a stable and comfortable ride across varying road surfaces.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under heavy cycling.
• Double-Welded Mounts: Reinforced loop-style mounts provide maximum structural integrity to ensure longevity in demanding environments.
• Protective Boot: Included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure the oil seal remains free of debris and contaminants.
