Rancho RS5000X Suspension Shock Absorber

Introducing the Rancho® RS5000™X shocks, featuring an innovative valving system and advanced compression technology designed to enhance both on- and off-road handling and performance. These shocks are meticulously engineered to fit a wide range of vehicles, including the 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac, 1995-2001 Ford Explorer, 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, 1997-2001 Mercury Mountaineer, 1999-2001 Mazda B2500, 1998-2002 Mazda B3000, 2003-2007 Mazda B3000, and 1998-2010 Mazda B4000.

Before purchasing, ensure compatibility by researching and entering your vehicle details such as year, make, model, engine, and trim. This step is crucial to verify fitment and to review any specific notes provided.

Enhanced handling and performance are achieved through Cross Tuned technology, which incorporates an exclusive rebound valving system and advanced compression phase. This configuration improves overall vehicle control in various driving conditions, whether on rugged terrain or smooth highways.

The shocks feature Exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving, custom-tuned for each vehicle to minimize initial impacts at low speeds and reduce ride harshness. This technology contributes to a smoother driving experience.

Built for durability, the shocks include a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs and rust, along with double-welded loops at stress points and a 35mm sintered iron piston for enhanced structural integrity. A polyvinyl protective boot further shields against debris and ensures longevity.

Handling extreme temperature changes is facilitated by a large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid. This design promotes cooler operation, enhances vehicle control, and withstands internal temperatures ranging from -40 to 248°F.

For smooth performance, polyurethane rebound bumpers and rubber bushings absorb road imperfections, while a fluon-banded piston enhances responsiveness to varying road conditions.

To reduce damping performance fade and foaming, nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI minimizes air-to-oil mixture. This preserves consistent shock absorption during demanding driving scenarios.

Maintaining precise shock motion control is crucial, achieved through a Compression Control Valve that regulates fluid transfer to absorb impacts without disc flutter. This feature enhances vehicle stability and control over rough terrain.

Designed for longevity, the shocks incorporate a low-friction, self-lubricating seal that retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression. An application-specific piston design maximizes shock motion control due to an expanded piston area.

In conclusion, the Rancho® RS5000™X shocks are engineered to elevate your driving experience with superior handling, reduced ride harshness, and enhanced durability across diverse driving conditions. Whether navigating city streets or tackling off-road trails, these shocks offer unmatched performance and reliability for your vehicle.
