Rancho’s exclusive Cross-Tune Technology
Rancho’s 4WD replacement shock absorber range features Rancho’s exclusive Cross-Tuned Technology which provides a unique, patented valving system and advanced compression functionality, improving the vehicle’s overall on and off-road handling and performance.
RS5000™X shocks and struts improve overall on and off-road handling and performance
Developed by the engineers at Rancho, the patented RS5000™X shocks have been the shock of choice all over the globe since 1985. The Rancho RS5000™X series design includes patented progressive rebound and compression discs. At lower speeds or in the earlier stages of the shock’s travel, a low-speed tuning disc in the valve shim stacks will engage the valving at lower frequencies, helping to control the energy of motion as the cycle of the shock increases or decreases in its action.
RS5000™X shocks and struts reduce harsh initial impacts
RS5000™X shocks are a 4WD purist’s dream. When hitting a pothole or off-road trail obstacle, Rancho’s Progressive Engagement Valving allows for early flow of fluid, helping to reduce harsh initial impacts and to control the flow of fluid in a progressive, gradual manner through the valving.
RS5000™X shocks and struts minimise a rough ride
During on or off-road driving activities like washboard roads or when travelling a rough fire road, the early flow of fluid helps to minimise a rough ride as the piston movement is able to glide through the initial travel motion of the shock with minimal ground impact or force. If needed, the Progressive Engagement Valving will further engage to maintain control and stability. For more information about the features and benefits of RS5000™X shocks and struts, click here.
Rancho RS5000™ shocks and struts are tuned to each unique vehicle model
Rancho RS5000™ shocks have been the shock of choice all over the globe since 1985. These iconic shocks were the first to deliver application-specific valving and are tuned to each unique vehicle model. Ideal for work or play, Rancho RS5000™ shocks deliver a comfortable highway ride while being responsive during off-road driving on any stock or lifted application.
RS7000®MT monotube shocks are perfect for extreme off-road use
Engineered and manufactured in North America, Rancho RS7000®MT monotube shocks are extremely resilient and highly effective in the dissipation of heat, making the series ideal for extreme off-road use and larger wheel and tyre packages. RS7000®MT monotube shocks feature a 50mm monotube body for improved heat dissipation and application-specific deflective disc valving which automatically senses and responds to any suspension input.

RS9000™XL shocks and struts – 9 levels of performance for trucks, SUVs and Jeeps
Engineered and manufactured in the US, the Rancho RS9000™XL 9-position adjustable series delivers nine levels of performance to on and off-road trucks, SUVs and Jeeps. Globally recognised as the first 9-position manually adjustable ride control series in the off-road market, the advanced RS9000XL series is ideal for on and off-road use, towing and more. The adjustable damping enhances ride characteristics by counteracting the additional unsprung mass inherent in larger tyre and wheel combinations.
