Default Rancho shocks

I've asked questions similar to this but what are the rancho shocks for? Can they do something the standard truck cannot? Are they used for offroad?

Rancho's are a performance and off road for pickups/SUVs/HD trucks and many other applications, including 4wheelers and Rhino type rigs. They come as std or optional equipment on most major pickup manufacturers. They were std equipt on Raptors.

They make any type shock that is wanted for any type application. They are owned by Tenneco corp, which is also Monroe Shocks. Consider Rancho as the "Cadillac of the Industry" when it comes to performance/off road uses.

Rancho was not the standard manufacture for the shocks of the Raptor....


Fox Racing is the standard and only option for shocks on Raptors.


I just replaced my rear shocks with Rancho RS5000's. I think they ride fine, not really sure on the difference over my Gabriel Ultra's, I am sure they are more controlled off road though.
