Key Features:
Rancho’s RS5000X strut incorporates cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design elements to optimize suspension performance:
- Exclusive Valving System: Features a unique rebound valving system and advanced compression phase for enhanced handling and control.
- Compression Control Valve: Custom-tuned for each vehicle to regulate fluid transfer, absorb impacts smoothly, and prevent disc flutter.
- Progressive Engagement Valving: Reduces initial low-speed impacts to minimize rough ride sensations.
- Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: Pressurized to 60 PSI to reduce air-to-oil mixing, minimizing damping fade and foaming.
- Durable Construction: Nitro-carburized piston rod resists corrosion and scuffing for long-lasting performance.
- All-Weather Fluid: Large twin-tube body filled with fluid capable of withstanding temperatures from -40 to 248°F for consistent operation.
- Polyurethane Rebound Bumper and Rubber Bushings: Absorb ride harshness and improve responsiveness to changing road conditions.
- Low-Friction, Self-Lubricating Seal: Retains gas and oil to enable quicker rebound and smoother compression.
Construction & Design:
The RS5000X strut is built with durability and performance in mind. Its nitro-carburized piston rod provides exceptional resistance to corrosion and surface damage, extending the life of the strut under harsh conditions. Double-welded loops reinforce stress points, while the application-specific sintered iron piston enhances structural integrity and shock control. A polyvinyl protective boot shields internal components from dirt and debris, ensuring reliable operation over time.
The twin-tube design filled with all-weather fluid maintains optimal damping characteristics across a wide temperature range, preventing fade and maintaining consistent shock performance whether in freezing cold or extreme heat.
