Key Features:

Rancho RS7MT shocks incorporate several innovative features to optimize performance and longevity:

• Precision Tuned Suspension: Deflective Disc Valving offers digressive, linear, or progressive tuning tailored to specific vehicle applications for balanced on- and off-road handling.
• Heat Dissipation: Large 2-inch monotube body filled with all-weather fluid ensures cooler operation and consistent damping even under extreme temperature ranges from -40°F to 248°F.
• Dirt Wiper Sealing System: Integrated sealing prevents moisture, dirt, and debris from contaminating the shock oil and damaging internal 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 enhanced strength.
• Internal Rebound Bumper: Smooths out ride harshness and reduces noise and vibration for a more comfortable driving experience.
• Full-Floating Dividing Piston: Maintains constant pressure against hydraulic oil with high-pressure nitrogen gas to reduce aeration and shock fade.
• Easy Installation: Application-specific mounting fits directly without the need for additional sleeves or hardware.
• Bold Appearance: Black satin finish with distinctive Rancho red logo adds a rugged, eye-catching look to your suspension.

Construction & Design:

The RS7MT shocks feature a robust monotube design that enhances heat dissipation and shock responsiveness. The 46mm fluon-banded piston ensures consistent sealing and precise control, while the hardened chrome piston rod offers superior resistance to corrosion and physical damage. Rancho’s double-welded loops at stress points and hot-formed reserve tube construction provide added durability to withstand harsh off-road conditions and heavy-duty use. The integrated dirt wiper sealing system protects internal components from contaminants, preserving shock performance and longevity.
