Key Features:

Rancho RS7MT struts incorporate advanced technology and durable materials to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Key features include:

• Precision Handling: Deflective Disc Valving offers digressive, linear, or progressive tuning tailored to application requirements for accurate on- and off-road control.
• Heat Dissipation: Large 2-inch monotube body filled with all-weather fluid maintains cooler operation and consistent damping performance in temperatures ranging from -40 to 248°F.
• Dirt Wiper Sealing System: Integrated sealing prevents moisture, dirt, and debris from contaminating the internal oil and seals, extending shock life.
• Durable Construction: Hardened 14mm chrome piston rod resists scuffs and corrosion, complemented by double-welded loops and a hot-formed reserve tube for added strength.
• Reduced Fade: Full-floating dividing piston and high-pressure nitrogen gas maintain constant pressure, minimizing aeration and fade during demanding use.
• Smooth Ride: Internal rebound bumper and shouldered rubber bushings reduce noise, vibration, and harshness for enhanced comfort.
• Easy Installation: Application-specific mounting design fits directly without the need for additional sleeves or hardware.
• Consistent Sealing: Large 46mm fluon-banded piston ensures precise control and reliable sealing between the piston and monotube.
• Bold Appearance: Black satin finish with distinctive Rancho red logo adds a rugged, stylish look to your suspension.

Construction & Design:

The Rancho RS7MT struts are built with high-quality materials and engineered for durability and performance. The monotube design allows for superior heat dissipation compared to twin-tube shocks, ensuring consistent damping even under extreme off-road conditions. The 14mm hardened chrome piston rod resists corrosion and physical damage, while the double-welded loops and hot-formed reserve tube reinforce structural integrity at critical stress points. The internal rebound bumper smooths out impacts, and the integrated dirt wiper sealing system protects internal components from contaminants, extending the service life of the strut.
