Description of Rancho RS55378 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 Performance: Save Your Money

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice, using this product felt like a step backward. The shock absorbers provided hardly any improvement, and I could hardly notice any difference in performance. The only positive side is that the price was relatively affordable. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this product.

Pros
  • Durable construction and high-quality materials provide excellent performance and longevity.
Cons
  • Some customers have reported a stiffer ride with this shock absorber compared to other brands.

Both failed -

Originally Liked . However, both failed within 5,000 miles. both compressed and non-expandable. (both are still compressed in my garage 4 hours after replacement)

Pros
  • Shocks withstand EXTREME TEMPERATURE CHANGES - Large, all-weather fluid filled twin-tube body provides cooler operation, improved vehicle control and ability to handle internal temperatures from -40 to 248°F
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Amazing shock absorber, strut and suspension product

I have a 2019 Chevy 2500 with the z71 package which means it comes with Ranch shocks. But I did a little research and realized they suck, so I bought them. Significantly improved handling of the truck.

Pros
  • STRONG AND DURABLE – Featuring a 16mm nitrocarburized piston rod to resist abrasion and corrosion, double welded lugs in stress areas, a 35mm sintered iron piston for increased structural integrity and a polyvinyl protector
Cons
  • No. best
