    Help smooth out rough roads and keep your vehicle composed on and off pavement with the Rancho shock absorber RS55029 from the RS5000X line, built around Rancho's exclusive Cross Tuned technology. It is listed for several models, among them the 1980-1996 Ford F-150, 1980-1996 Ford F-250 and 1997-2004 Dodge Dakota. It is cataloged for the front position (front and front rearward). See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list and engine details.

    At the heart of the RS5000X is a rebound valving system paired with an advanced compression phase. Together they are designed to improve overall handling and performance on and off road.

    • Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned for each vehicle to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds and minimize a rough ride.
    • Strong and durable: A 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod resists scuffs and corrosion. It is joined by double-welded loops at stress areas, a 35mm sintered iron piston for structural integrity and a polyvinyl protective boot.
    • Temperature and fade control: A large 2 1/4-inch twin-tube body holds all-weather fluid for cooler operation and can withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248°F. Nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI helps minimize air-to-oil mixing, reducing damping fade and foaming.
    • Compression Control Valve: Custom-tuned per vehicle to regulate fluid transfer. It is designed to absorb impacts without disc flutter and help maintain shock motion control.

    A polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb ride harshness, and the fluon-banded piston is designed to respond to changing road conditions. A low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression. This Rancho absorber comes with Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
