Based on what I have read here they are the lowest grade Rancho shock. It's just a gimmick on Fords part to sell trucks.

Yeah thanks. Just did a search and found out the same thing. Was going to buy a set of shocks off Ebay and he represented them as RSX's, but I didn't think that was right. I thought they were the 5000s.

They are "stock" shocks "branded" with the Rancho logo. Ford even uses the word "branded" in their literature. Don't waste your money.
