Disappointing Performance. Waste of Money.

As my tests showed, these shock absorbers failed to provide any significant reduction in vibration or shock. The installation process was time-consuming and complicated.

Pros
  • None
Cons
  • Poor performance, complicated installation.

Good but wears out quickly

When I first installed them they were great, especially compared to the dead shocks my truck had. Unfortunately they didn't last long. I've driven it about 25,000 miles, mostly around town. I recently upgraded my springs and noticed that my shocks weren't retracting anymore so I changed my mind about buying all 4 for the 2.5" lifter.

Pros
  • Drivetrains
Cons
  • Can't remember

Surprisingly low quality but very easy to use

Shaft lock nut not included. There is paint on the shaft, the shock absorber body is painted unevenly. Didn't expect such poor quality from Rancho. After that has been said. These are probably the best shocks I've ever put on my truck. I can ride on railroad tracks without a terrible bang when the bumps are pushed to the limit.

Pros
  • Shock and vibration protection system
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
