RS551850-2.5" LiftRearShock Absorber2

The Rancho RS5000X Gas Shocks Rear Pair are high-performance shock absorbers designed to enhance vehicle handling and ride quality. Featuring patented rebound valving and an advanced compression phase, these twin-tube shocks are gas pressurized to 150 PSI, providing consistent damping and minimizing foaming and shock fade. The larger 2-1/4-inch diameter shock bodies increase fluid capacity, allowing for cooler operation and improved control across various terrains. With all-weather fluid and progressive rebound and compression discs, these shocks deliver a smooth, controlled ride by engaging gradually during impacts and rough conditions. Their innovative design reduces harsh impacts and maintains stability during off-road or challenging driving scenarios, making them ideal for both on- and off-road use.

Designed for 2001-2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac models with factory height or up to 2.5 inches of rear lift, these shocks are compatible with both 4WD and RWD configurations. They are a direct bolt-on replacement, reusing factory hardware such as washers, bushings, nuts, and mounting bolts for easy installation. The package includes two shock absorbers, suitable for vehicles with no suspension modifications or those with minor lift systems. These shocks are perfect for drivers seeking improved off-road performance, ride comfort, and durability, whether for daily driving, trail riding, or light off-road adventures.

RS5000X Gas Shock, The core of this new and innovative shock from Rancho is the unique and patented rebound valving system and an advanced compression phase of the shock absorber. This proprietary process developed by the ride engineers at Rancho will elevate the overall handling and performance of your vehicle on and off-road. Each RS5000X shock is gas pressurized to 150 PSI.\* The twin tube, gas pressurized shock has a variety of advantages including minimizing air-to-oil mixture that can cause foaming and shock fade. Gas pressurization also provides a mild boost of spring rate to the vehicle. The RS5000X series features a 2-1/4-inch diameter shock body. A larger shock body allows for increased fluid capacity to operate cooler and to increase vehicle control and performance at varying speeds and terrains. The RS5000X series combines a larger shock body with all-weather fluid, allowing the shock to withstand internal temperatures between -40 and 248 degrees Fahrenheit. The Rancho RS5000X series design includes patented progressive rebound and compression discs. At lower speeds or in the earlier stages of the shock's travel, an eccentric disc in the valve shim stacks will engage the valving at lower frequencies, helping to control the energy of motion as the cycle of the shock increases or decreases in its action. When hitting a pothole, off-road trail obstacle or similar activity, Rancho's Progressive Engagement Valving allows for early flow of fluid, helping to reduce harsh initial impacts and to control the flow of fluid in a progressive, gradual manner through the valving. During on- or off-road driving activities like washboarding or when travelling a rough fire road, the early flow of fluid helps to minimize a "rough" ride as the piston movement is able to glide through the initial travel motion of the shock with minimal ground impact or force. If needed, the Progressive Engagement Valving will further engage to maintain control and stability.
