Talking Want to win some new RS5000X shock's? :)

Two cool things are happening this year for us!
We are celebrating our 60th anniversary and are launching a new shock!!

We recently launched our new RS5000X shocks, and we have MANY of the Ford applications covered. This shock has some cool things going on inside that sets itself apart from other shocks, like our Progressive Engagement Valving and Tuned Compression Control Valving.
Info on that.

Progressive Engagement Valving:
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.

Tuned Compression Control Valve:
The Tuned Compression Control Valve is a custom-tuned, clamped disc base valve that regulates fluid transfer during the shock’s compression cycle to help absorb impacts without disc flutter and to help maintain vehicle control in virtually any environment. The precision-tuned shim stacked valving allows the motion of the shock to work in harmony with the vehicle during on- and off-road driving.

That being said, let's run this until Tuesday May 19, 2015.
Just reply once.
I will pick a random number.
All I ask is a review on them.
Thanks and good luck.

I could use new shocks, for my '79 Bronco, if you make them.
