Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series utilizes a patented progressive rebound and compression disc system to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for your Ford Ranger. Designed specifically for vehicles with a 3-inch front lift, these twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks offer exceptional durability and dent resistance during off-road use. By minimizing aeration and foaming, the RS5000X ensures a smooth, controlled street ride while maintaining the ruggedness required for trail environments.

Features

• Crossed Landscape Valve: A patented progressive rebound and compression disc system provides custom-tuned damping to ensure consistent ride quality across varying terrains.
• Twin-Tube Gas Pressure: The 150 PSI nitrogen gas charged design provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure fade-free performance during spirited driving.
• Protective Boot: The included red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a durable shield for the shock rod to ensure longevity against rocks and debris.
• Glass-Filled Fluon Band: A high-temperature piston seal provides a consistent seal between the piston and pressure tube to ensure maximum responsiveness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my Ford Ranger?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly on vehicles already equipped with a 3-inch front lift kit.

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

Are the boots included with these shocks?
Yes, this pair of Rancho RS5000X shocks includes the signature red protective boots and necessary mounting hardware.
