Rancho RS5000X 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1998-2008 Mazda B3000, B4000 Torsion Bar

Part Number: RS55229

Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series leverages advanced Cross-Tuned technology to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality for the Mazda B3000 and B4000. These twin-tube gas-pressurized shocks are engineered to handle the unique demands of torsion bar suspensions, offering increased fluid capacity for cooler operation. By utilizing a progressive engagement valving system, these shocks deliver smooth street comfort while maintaining the durability required for light off-road use at stock ride height.

Features

• Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned compression and rebound circuits provide a smooth transition between damping forces to ensure controlled handling across varying terrain.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: A high-pressure gas charge minimizes aeration and foaming provides consistent damping performance to ensure fade-free operation during spirited driving.
• Enlarged Shock Body: A 2.25-inch reserve tube increases oil capacity and heat dissipation to ensure the seals remain cool and functional under heavy loads.
• Protective Boot: A durable polyvinyl accordion boot protects the piston rod from debris provides longevity to ensure the internal seals remain free from contaminants.
