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.  

Rancho products are manufactured and marketed by Tenneco Inc (NYSE: TEN) a $17.45 billion manufacturing company best known for its ride control and emission brands, including: Monroe shocks and struts, Walker Exhaust, Thrush Exhaust, and DynoMax Performance Exhaust.

Strut Tie Bars, Strut Tower Bars, Strut Tower Braces and Tie Bars

 

What is the purpose of a strut bar or tie bar?

A strut bar is also referred to as a strut tower bar, strut tie bar, and tie bar.  Upper strut bars reduce strut tower flex by tying the two strut towers together. This transfers the load from each strut tower during cornering, which “ties” the two towers together. The lower tie bars, or lower strut bars, improve the handling and steering response of the vehicle by reducing movement of the control and trailing arms and stiffening the subframe. These products are most noticeable during hard cornering.
