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.

Do lowering springs improve performance?
Assuming the springs are good quality, yes. Typically, the lowering springs have higher spring rates, which improves weight transfer, responsiveness and acceleration.
Do lowering springs hurt ride quality?
No. Most street and sport lowering springs are designed to ride as close to factory as possible, maintaining similar suspension travel, and minimal (up to 15% higher) spring rates. Additionally, most progressive rate street and sport springs keep the factory spring rates for the first 25-20% of spring travel, which preserves that factory ride quality.
Can I improve my spring performance without lowering my vehicle?
Yes. Several brands offer “OE Ride Height” performance springs that provide the improved handling characteristics, without lowering the vehicle stance.
Do you need an alignment after replacing springs?
Yes. You will need an alignment after replacing springs, whether lowering, stock or lifting.
