Rancho 97-04 Ford Pickup / F100 RS5000X Shock

When you're looking to get your 1997-2003 Ford F-150 back to feeling solid on the road, this Rancho RS5000X shock absorber is a great place to start. It's built to help improve both your on- and off-road handling by giving you more control over the shock's motion. This means you'll feel a difference in how the truck reacts to bumps and turns.

Inside this shock, you'll find a large twin-tube body that's filled with fluid designed to handle a wide range of temperatures, from -40 to 248°F. This helps keep things cool and consistent, reducing the chance of the shock losing performance when it gets hot. The piston rod is nitro-carburized to resist scuffs and corrosion, and the whole assembly is double-welded at stress points for extra durability. Rancho also uses a fluon-banded piston and a Progressive Engagement Valving system, which is custom-tuned for your F-150. This helps absorb those initial impacts at low speeds, making for a smoother ride and minimizing harshness.

This shock absorber comes with a protective polyvinyl boot to keep dirt and debris out. It also includes a low-friction seal to help retain the gas and oil inside, ensuring quicker rebound and smoother compression. Rancho backs this shock with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, so you can install it with confidence.
