Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1998-2011 Ford Ranger 2WD Coil Spring Suspension

Part Number: RS55222

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to significantly improve the ride quality of your Ford Ranger or Isuzu Hombre. Engineered for vehicles with stock ride height (0″ lift), these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes foam and cavitation during travel. This ensures a consistent, smooth street performance and reliable durability for daily driving and light off-road use.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smoother transition between damping cycles to ensure improved ride comfort on paved surfaces.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150-PSI nitrogen gas charge provides a consistent damping response to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during extended use.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.
