Product Details

Rancho RS5000X shocks are part of the RS5000X product line, which focuses on more precise shock control through a tuned valving approach and compression management. For Ford F-250 Super Duty and Ford F-350 Super Duty rear suspension service, the RS55254 provides a direct replacement option for trucks listed with 0-inch rear raised height or the specified 2.5-inch raised height application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts 34526 for the same application.

What This Shock Can Help Address

  • Loose or unsettled rear-end feel on loaded Super Duty trucks
  • Reduced damping control during towing or hauling
  • Worn shock performance that affects ride stability
  • Rear suspension harshness from aging OE-style dampers
