Firm up on- and off-road control with the Rancho RS5000X shock absorber RS55233, a front-position damper that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Ford F-150, 1997-1999 Ford F-250 and 1997-2002 Ford Expedition; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list. At its heart is Rancho's exclusive Cross Tuned technology, pairing a rebound valving system with an advanced compression phase to improve overall handling and performance.
A polyurethane rebound bumper, rubber bushings, and a fluon-banded piston help absorb ride harshness for a smoother ride, while a low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound. Sold individually; replacing both sides of the axle together is recommended for balanced ride control. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
