Rancho Heavy Duty
Commonly known as "The 5th Shock", a Rancho steering damper (stabilizer) is a must for 4WDs with oversized tires and a great replacement damper for original-equipment vehicles. Featuring RS5000 construction and available in single, over-size or dual configurations, Rancho steering dampers improve driver control, and minimize uncomfortable road input.
Rancho Steering stabilizer are shock absorbers which are specially engineered to operate horizontal. Acting as a horizontal shock absorber, steering stabilizers reduce vibrations that travel thought the steering system to the driver. The result can be increased control, improved safety and reduced driver fatigue.
Simply put, steering stabilizers are installed between the main movable component of the 4WDs steering system and its frame.
Rancho steering stabilizers increase vehicle control under all driving conditions by reducing steering shimmy and, therefore, driver fatigue. Other benefits include improved tyre life, better control and substantially-greater safety.
Rancho RS5000 steering stabilizers are usually more heavy-duty than the stock units fitted by the vehicle manufacturer. Single RS5000 units will, generally, cope well with tyres up to 35" tall. For hard-core 4WD enthusiasts, Rancho makes a range of dual stabilizer kits and also bracket kits which may be suitable for custom and multi-stabilizer requirements. Rancho RS5000 steering stabilizers are designed and manufactured to the same specifications as the RS5000 shock absorber, making it the best 4WD steering stabilizer application available.
One factor that makes a Rancho RS5000 steering damper different from a Rancho RS5000 shock absorber, is the damping style. Rancho shock absorbers are designed to act softer on compression than rebound. It's a quality feature that best complements the way your 4WD suspension works, and results in a superior on and off-road ride.
Naturally, when it comes to your 4WDs steering, you want equal resistance, or damping, in both directions. The RS5000 steering stabilizer is designed to provide this and the improvement over the stock, or aftermarket unit, previously fitted is usually very noticeable.
