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

Part Number: RS55010

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes an innovative cross-tuned twin-tube design to provide exceptional durability and smooth street comfort for your Ford Ranger or Mazda B-Series. Specifically configured for 2.5-inch rear lift heights, these shocks feature a unique progressive engagement valving system that minimizes harshness during initial impacts. This gas-pressurized solution is ideal for drivers seeking a rugged, dent-resistant shock that maintains consistent control across varied terrain.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned internal valving provides a softer ride during initial travel to ensure comfort on rough pavement.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 1.375-inch nitro-carburized piston rod provides increased surface area for pressure displacement to ensure consistent damping performance.
• Protective Boot: Included heavy-duty red polyvinyl bellows provide a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.
• All-Weather Fluid: Specialized friction-reducing oil provides consistent viscosity through extreme temperature swings to ensure predictable handling in any climate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my truck?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to accommodate vehicles that already have 2.5 inches of rear lift installed.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this SKU (2xRS55010) includes 2 shocks, providing a complete solution for your rear axle.

What is the benefit of the gas-pressurized twin-tube design?
The twin-tube design is highly durable for off-road use and the nitrogen gas charge helps prevent oil foaming (aeration), ensuring the shocks don’t lose damping power during spirited driving.
