Rancho RS5000X 0″ 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 provide a significant upgrade over factory dampening for your Ford Ranger or Mercury Mountaineer. Engineered with a unique valving system, these shocks provide a smooth, comfortable ride on the street while maintaining enough control for light off-road use. By utilizing a larger shock body and increased fluid capacity, the RS5000X ensures consistent performance and durability without the harshness often associated with high-pressure shocks.

Features

• Cross-Tuned Technology: A specialized valve system provides a progressive engagement of the valving to ensure consistent ride quality across varying terrain.
• Gas-Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure stable performance under heavy cycling.
• Protective Dust Boot: A durable poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures and reduced fade.
