Product Details

When you're looking to improve how your 1997-2003 Ford F-150 handles bumps and rough terrain, a good set of shocks makes all the difference. The Rancho RS5000X shock absorber is built to give you a more controlled ride, whether you're on the highway or exploring off-road trails.

This shock absorber features a large, twin-tube body that's filled with all-weather fluid, allowing it to operate cooler and handle extreme temperatures from -40 to 248°F. Inside, a 35mm sintered iron piston and a 16mm nitro-carburized rod work together to manage shock motion effectively and resist scuffs and corrosion. Rancho's exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving is custom-tuned for your F-150 to absorb initial impacts at low speeds, smoothing out the ride and reducing harshness.

You'll also notice improved vehicle control thanks to the Compression Control Valve, which regulates fluid transfer to absorb impacts without causing flutter. The nitrogen gas pressurization to 150 PSI helps prevent foaming and damping loss, ensuring consistent performance. Double-welded loops at stress areas and a protective boot add to its durability.
