Cross Tuned technology: Rancho's exclusive rebound valving system and advanced compression phase are tuned to improve overall handling and performance on and off road.
Progressive Engagement Valving: custom-tuned per vehicle to help reduce initial low-speed impacts and minimize a rough ride.
Built strong: 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod resists scuffs and corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas, a 35mm sintered iron piston, and a polyvinyl protective boot.
Temperature control: large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid for cooler operation, withstanding internal temperatures of -40 to 248°F.
Nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI helps minimize air-to-oil mixing to reduce damping fade and foaming, while a polyurethane rebound bumper, rubber bushings, and fluon-banded piston help absorb harshness for a smoother ride. Backed by Rancho's Limited Lifetime Warranty.
