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.
Improved Handling & Performance: Cross Tuned technology featuring exclusive rebound valving system and advanced compression phase improves overall handling and performance on and off road
Minimizes Rough Ride: Exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving is custom-tuned for each vehicle to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds and minimizes a rough ride
Strong & Durable: Features a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs & corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas, 35mm sintered iron piston for enhanced structural integrity and polyvinyl protective boot
Handles Extreme Temperature Changes: Large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid allows for cooler operation, increased vehicle control and ability to withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248°F
Vehicle Compatibility: This fits your 2005-2016 F-250 Super Duty 4WD with 0″ lift

Good price, great results
I am now a fan of Rancho shocks. I did not know much about them and reviews are so all over the place it was not clear to me if I should go for the Ranchos or just buy some no-name ultra low price shocks for my F250. I am so, so glad I bought the Ranchos. Installation took a couple hours, but that was mostly due to my not realizing that if I jacked the truck up on the body I would not have to manhandled the shocks into place…so lesson learned there. Also, the boot on the Ranchos needs to be seated in the lower washer for the bushing before you install the shock, that part I figured out after I installed the first shock, which was unfortunate. So I had to remove the shock, position the washer in the grooves on the boot then reinstall the shock. Such is life. But, after completing the install and taking a test ride it became clear that it was totally worth the effort. The truck now rides pretty smooth as trucks go, far better than with the old shocks, and settles down quite nicely when driving uneven roads.In short, it was a night and day difference between my old shocks and the Ranchos. I would 100% recommend them.My favorite part, there are no instructions but there are stickers in every box. These are my kind of people.

Perfect fit
Perfect fit. Fast shipping. Good price.Just what my ford f 350 needed
Mark Lester –
Didn’t last 12 months
Very disappointed. I purchased these in July of 2023. Less than one year later the shocks were shot. This is a F250 that travels highways. No off-road use. Terrible ride. No rebound left when I removed them from the truck. Wouldn’t buy them again. Hopefully I’ll be happier with the Bilsteins I replaced them with.

did not recrieve all the hard ware for one of the front shocks
Recrieved the shocks changed both rear shocks all good change one of the front shocks open the last front package and notice on the front shock package there were no rubber bushing for the top side of the shock package was open but no rubber bushing , unable to change that shock really need those rubber bushing so i can complete the total shock replacement , thanks
