Summary: The Rancho RS5000X series is engineered to provide a significant upgrade in ride quality and durability for your Mercury Mountaineer. Utilizing a sophisticated twin-tube design with a larger 2.25-inch body, these shocks offer increased fluid capacity to maintain cooler operating temperatures during heavy use. This configuration is specifically valved to provide smooth street comfort while maintaining the ruggedness required for light off-road or utility applications at factory ride height.

• Gas Pressurized Design: High-pressure nitrogen gas charging provides reduced aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under rapid cycling.
• 2.25-inch Shock Body: An increased outer diameter provides larger oil capacity to ensure effective heat dissipation and fade resistance.
