The latest Rancho lift kits for Ford F-150 models have recently passed the U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 126 Electronic Stability Control Systems (FMVSS-126) test and include a one-piece, reinforced subframe composition and design.
“These systems are a great example of the exacting detail of our engineering process, one that we’ve continuously refined over the past 60 years,” said Chris Gauss, director of performance products. “This precise product development process has allowed us to enjoy a long-standing reputation as a leader in the off-road performance industry.”
The Rancho systems were tested at the Arizona Proving Grounds in Wittmann, Arizona. The tests were completed by Link Engineering Co. in Dearborn, Michigan, on a Ford F-150 outfitted with a 6-inch Rancho suspension kit and Rancho RS5000X rear shocks and a Ford F-150 sporting a 4.5-inch Rancho suspension kit, Rancho RS5000X front struts and RS5000X rear shocks. Rancho RS5000X shocks and struts help deliver precisely controlled off-road performance to lifted trucks, and include Cross-Tuned Technology, a valve design that allows for increased control and consistent ride profile with a larger shock body, according to the company.
The new subframe is constructed from high-strength, low-alloy steel and was engineered for high off-road performance. Each kit and 6-inch Rancho system also includes CNC-machined, durable extended-length steering knuckles that maintain track width and ensure proper steering geometry. The system also includes rear aft braces.
