Front Shock Absorber for 1998-2011 Ford Ranger & More - Rancho RS55374

Dial in front-end ride control with the Rancho RS5000X Suspension Shock Absorber RS55374 — a front-position Rancho shock absorber engineered for on- and off-road driving. It's a direct-fit replacement for many vehicles, among them the 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 1998-2011 Ford Ranger and 1998-2010 Mazda B4000; see the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.

• Cross Tuned technology: Rancho's exclusive rebound valving system and advanced compression phase work to improve overall handling and performance on and off road, while Progressive Engagement Valving is custom-tuned per vehicle to help soften low-speed impacts.
• Strong and durable: 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod resists scuffs and corrosion, with double-welded loops at stress areas, a 35mm sintered iron piston, and a polyvinyl protective boot.
• Handles extreme temperatures: Large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid runs cooler and withstands internal temperatures from -40 to 248°F.
• Reduces fade: Nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI helps minimize the air-to-oil mixture that causes damping fade and foaming.

Signs your original front shock may need replacing include excessive bounce, nose dive under braking, or fluid leaking from the shock body. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
