Rancho RS5000 Shocks
The primary and vital role of the shock absorber is to control the spring and suspension movement. This is in contrast to popular belief that the conventional shock absorber does not support vehicle weight. The control of the spring and suspension movement is achieved by controlling the kinetic energy of suspension movement into thermal or heat energy. This is to be dissipated through the hydraulic fluid. Rancho RS5000 shocks are commonly used nowadays. Now, a piston is attached to the end of the piston rod and work against the hydraulic fluid in the pressure tube. The suspension would travel upward and downward and the hydraulic fluid is forced through tiny holes inside the piston. These tiny holes are called the orifices. All modern shock absorbers are velocity sensitive hydraulic damping devices. This means that the faster the suspension moves the more resistance the shock absorber provides. As a result, shock absorbers reduce the rate of bounce, roll or sway, brake dive and acceleration squat. Rancho RS5000 shocks provide plenty of riding comfort at an inexpensive tag price. Because of this, they are a popular choice of most trucks and SUVs since 1985. They are also ideal for either stock of lifted vehicles. Rancho RS5000 shocks is designed with a high capacity twin-tube, double welded mounts, hardened, double-chromed 5 to 8 inches rods, and topped by red urethane protective boots. Its finish is a durable exterior that withstood a 240-hour salt spray in testing. The ten-stage, velocity-sensitive valving gives a smooth ride quality. Comfort is also prevalent because of the hardened rubber bushings that help pad impacts.
