Rancho RS5000X 2.5″ Front Lift Shocks for 1983-1992 Ford Ranger

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive engagement valving system to enhance the ride quality of your 1983-1992 Ford Ranger. Specifically configured for 2.5-inch front lift heights, these shocks are engineered to bridge the gap between street comfort and off-road durability. The twin-tube gas pressurized design provides a rugged outer shell that protects internal components from trail debris while maintaining a smooth, controlled ride on the highway.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal discs provide a gradual transition between low and high-speed damping to ensure a smooth ride over varied terrain.
• Gas Pressurization: High-pressure nitrogen charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during spirited driving.
• Twin-Tube Body: A 2.25-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity and dent resistance to ensure long-term reliability in harsh environments.
• 16mm Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty hardened piston rod provides superior scuff resistance to ensure the integrity of the pressure seal.

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

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design allows the outer tube to take impacts from rocks or debris without affecting the inner pressure tube, ensuring your shocks continue to function even in rough conditions.
