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

Part Number: RS55136

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a cross-tuned twin-tube gas pressurized design to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your lifted Ford Ranger. Engineered to handle the increased demands of a 2.5-inch lift, these shocks feature a unique valving system that minimizes foaming and aeration. This ensures consistent damping performance and a smooth, controlled ride whether you are navigating city streets or maintaining stability on light trails.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: A custom-tuned compression disk stack provides initial softness on small bumps to ensure maximum street comfort.
• Gas Pressurized Twin-Tube: Low-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during spirited driving.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures under load.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford Ranger?
No, these shocks are configured for a vehicle that already has a 2.5-inch lift kit installed; they do not create lift height themselves.

Does this include all four shocks for my truck?
Yes, this specific SKU is a complete set including both front and rear shocks for your 1983-1992 Ranger.

What is the benefit of the twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for daily driving and provides an outer “reserve” tube that protects the inner working cylinder from rock chips or dents.
