Rancho Suspension

Rancho Shocks, Lift Kits, Suspension Systems, Jeep Suspension and Rock Protection

Rancho Suspension was born in the 1950s in Long Beach, California, as Rancho Jeep Supply, and quickly grew into a thriving off-road and performance suspension components manufacturer. In 1985, Rancho launched what would later become its best-selling shock absorber: The Rancho RS5000. In 1990, Rancho was purchased by Tenneco Inc. and quickly expanded to include the world's first five-way adjustable shock absorber, allowing off-road enthusiasts to adjust the level of compression/rebound damping to suit their riding style, and launched the first "intelligent" shock, the RSX shock absorber.

Rancho continued to grow and add fully engineered, industry-leading shock absorbers – like RS9000XL, Loaded quickLIFT, Pro Series and more – plus suspension systems to one of the world's most recognizable and technologically leading brands. Rancho suspension systems, shock absorbers, accessories and other related products deliver rugged performance for work and play in any on - or off-road environment. Rancho also offers the RockGear line of Jeep rock protection products, ranging from differential covers and skid plates, to steel shock mount protectors and tube doors.

Suspension Lift Kits, Leveling Kits, Spacer Lift Kits and Body Lift Kits

What are the different types of lift kits?

There are three (3) different types of lift kits: suspension lift kits, leveling kits (also called spacer lift kits), and body lift kits. All three will allow you to install taller tires, but not all three offer the same level of performance or ride comfort.

Suspension lift kits are the best options for lifting your vehicle. These kits are designed and manufactured with components to help adjust your OEM parts to the different geometry that is used by the suspension lift kit.

Leveling kits (spacer lift kits) use spring spacers with and without shocks to “level” your vehicle and give it some extra height. Most of these options provide a 1” to 3” height gain.

Body lift kits raise the body of your vehicle by adding spacers over the body mount bushings. This type of lift does not affect your ride quality or handling, but offers no performance advantage. However, you do gain height and tire clearance without changing suspension geometry.
