Product Details

When you're working on your 1997-2004 Ford F-150, replacing the shocks is a key step to restoring its ride and handling. This Rancho RS5000X shock absorber is built to help you get back to a smooth, controlled drive, whether you're on the pavement or heading off-road.

Inside this shock, you'll find a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod that's tough against scuffs and corrosion, paired with a 35mm sintered iron piston for solid structural integrity. The large twin-tube body is filled with fluid that handles extreme temperatures, from -40 to 248°F, helping to keep things cool and maintain vehicle control. Rancho's exclusive valving systems, like the Progressive Engagement Valving and Compression Control Valve, are custom-tuned for your F-150. This means it works to absorb impacts effectively, reduce initial jarring at low speeds, and prevent damping performance fade and foaming thanks to the 150 PSI nitrogen gas pressurization.

You'll also notice a smoother ride thanks to the polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings, which help soak up harshness. The fluon-banded piston adds to the responsiveness, changing with road conditions for a more comfortable experience. This shock comes with Rancho’s Limited Lifetime Warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase.
