Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1998-2011 Ford Ranger with Torsion

Part Number: RS55229

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to bridge the gap between rugged off-road durability and refined street comfort. Engineered specifically for the Ford Ranger and Mercury Mountaineer with torsion bar suspensions, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes foam and cavitation. By providing consistent damping through a pressurized gas charge, they ensure your vehicle maintains a stable and controlled ride regardless of the terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between low and high-speed impacts to ensure driver comfort during daily commutes.
• Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure nitrogen charge provides a consistent damping force to ensure reduced aeration and shock fade during spirited driving.
• Twin-Tube Body: A heavy-duty 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure the internal piston remains functional in harsh environments.
• Nitro-Carburized Piston Rod: The specialized rod coating provides superior corrosion resistance and seal lubrication to ensure a long service life in all weather conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford Ranger?
No, these shocks are configured for a 0-inch lift height and are designed to replace factory-length units. They do not provide lift; they manage the suspension movement at stock height.

What is the benefit of the RS5000X twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use; if the outer tube is dented by a rock, the inner pressure tube remains protected, allowing the shock to continue functioning.

Are the dust boots included?
Yes, these shocks come with Rancho’s signature red protective boots to shield the piston rod from dirt, mud, and debris.
