Construction & Design:

The RS7MT shock absorber features a robust monotube design that separates the gas and hydraulic fluid with a full-floating dividing piston. This construction reduces aeration and heat buildup, ensuring consistent damping performance even under extreme conditions. The 14mm hardened chrome piston rod is engineered to resist corrosion and physical damage, while the fluon-banded piston enhances seal durability and smooth operation.

Rancho’s integrated dirt wiper sealing system protects internal components from contaminants, significantly extending shock life. Double-welded loops and a hot-formed reserve tube add structural strength to withstand the rigors of off-road driving and heavy-duty use.
