- Cross Tuned technology: Rancho's exclusive rebound valving system and advanced compression phase are designed to improve overall on- and off-road handling and performance.
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Custom-tuned for each vehicle to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds and minimize a rough ride.
- Strong and durable build: 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs and corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas, a 35mm sintered iron piston, and a polyvinyl protective boot.
- Twin-tube design: A 2-1/4 inch twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid rated to withstand internal temperatures from -40 to 248°F, nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to reduce damping fade and foaming.
A polyurethane rebound bumper, rubber bushings, and fluon-banded piston help absorb harshness for a smoother ride, and it's backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Sold individually; replacing shocks as an axle pair is recommended for balanced ride control.
