Description

Soak up rough pavement and rutted trails with the Rancho RS5000X shock absorber (RS55179), a Rancho shock absorber built around the brand's exclusive Cross Tuned technology. It is a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1981-1996 Ford F-150, the 1977-1979 Ford F-250, and the 1981-1996 Ford Bronco (see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list), and is cataloged for the rear and front-forward position depending on the application.

Cross Tuned technology: an exclusive rebound valving system and advanced compression phase 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, durable build: a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs and corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas, a 35mm sintered iron piston, and a polyvinyl protective boot.
Twin-tube body with all-weather fluid: allows cooler operation and withstands internal temperatures of -40 to 248°F; nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI helps minimize air-to-oil mixing to reduce damping fade and foaming.

A low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression, while a polyurethane rebound bumper, rubber bushings, and a fluon-banded piston help absorb ride harshness. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Sold individually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this one of the right 1981-1996 Ford F-150 shock absorbers?

Yes. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1981-1996 Ford F-150, and it also fits the 1977-1979 Ford F-250 and the 1981-1996 Ford Bronco. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

Where does this shock mount?

It's cataloged for the rear and front-forward position, depending on the application. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section to match the correct position for your vehicle.

Is this suspension shock absorber gas-charged?

Yes. It's nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to help minimize air-to-oil mixing, which helps reduce damping performance fade and foaming.

Are these sold in pairs?

No, this listing is for one shock, sold individually. For balanced ride control, it's best to replace shocks as a matched pair on the same axle.

What temperatures can it handle?

The large twin-tube body is filled with all-weather fluid and is built to withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248°F, allowing for cooler operation and increased control.
