Description of Rancho RS55001 Shock Absorber

IMPROVED HANDLING AND PERFORMANCE -- Cross Tuned technology featuring exclusive rebound valving system and advanced compression phase improves overall handling and performance on and off road. MINIMIZES ROUGH RIDE -- Exclusive Progressive Engagement Valving is custom-tuned for each vehicle to help reduce initial impacts at low speeds and minimizes a rough ride. STRONG AND DURABLE -- Features a 16mm nitro-carburized piston rod to resist scuffs & corrosion, double-welded loops at stress areas, 35mm sintered iron piston for enhanced structural integrity and polyvinyl protective boot. HANDLES EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES -- Large twin-tube body filled with all-weather fluid allows for cooler operation, increased vehicle control and ability to withstand internal temperatures of -40 to 248°F. SMOOTH PERFORMANCE -- Polyurethane rebound bumper and rubber bushings help absorb ride harshness while the fluon-banded piston enhances responsiveness to changing road conditions for an overall smoother ride. REDUCES FADE -- Nitrogen gas pressurized to 150 PSI to minimize air-to-oil mixture to reduce damping performance fade and foaming. MAINTAINS VEHICLE CONTROL -- Compression Control Valve is custom-tuned for each vehicle to regulate fluid transfer to absorb impacts without disc flutter and help maintain shock motion control. BUILT TO LAST -- Low-friction, self-lubricating seal retains gas and oil for quicker rebound and smoother compression while the application-specific piston delivers heightened control of shock motion due to the expanded piston area.

Disappointing Quality for Shock Absorbers

Based on my experience, this shock absorber failed after just a few weeks of use. The installation was easy enough, but the durability of the product was lacking. The only positive aspect was the affordable price. However, the low quality of the product makes it not worth the investment. As an industrial and scientific buyer, I expected more from a shock absorber.

Pros
  • Improved handling and stability on rough terrain
Cons
  • Could potentially wear down faster than other shock absorbers on the market

Ranch made my truck rock. sorry i had to do it

I love them on my truck! Made for a great ride and smoothed out the weirdness that came from the old coilovers. Great price, fast delivery, fits right in my truck and has a bit of swag to it. Yes baby!

Pros
  • Shock absorber
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Great product at Power Transmission Products

I installed these on my 97 k1500. He had worn Bilsteins, so I went with the ranch. As far as smoothness goes, it helped a little. But recovering from blows? Recovers very quickly. You may hit a bump, and after half a second you'll feel like you're back on a flat road. Very good product worth the money. Screwed directly

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • Long delivery time
