Rancho RS7MT 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1961-1971 International Scout 80, 800

Part Number: RS77119

Summary: The Rancho RS7MT series is engineered for high-performance handling and rapid heat dissipation on classic utility vehicles. Designed specifically for the International Scout and FJ-8A, these monotube shocks provide a significant upgrade in damping precision compared to traditional twin-tube designs. By utilizing a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge, they eliminate oil aeration to maintain consistent control during demanding off-road excursions or heavy-duty postal routes.

Features

• Monotube Design: A high-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides rapid heat dissipation to ensure consistent damping performance under extreme conditions.
• Internal Floating Piston: The physical separation of gas and oil provides a responsive, fade-free ride to ensure maximum stability on uneven terrain.
• Hardened Nitro-Carburized Rod: The 14mm piston rod provides superior corrosion resistance and durability to ensure long-term seal integrity.
• Vehicle-Specific Valving: Application-specific tuning provides optimized geometry correction for vehicles with 0-2″ of lift to ensure a balanced stance and improved ride quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these shocks lift my International Scout?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured for vehicles that already have 0-2 inches of front lift height to ensure the piston operates within its optimal range.

What is the benefit of the RS7MT monotube over a twin-tube shock?
The RS7MT uses a single-cylinder design with a floating piston, which prevents the mixing of gas and oil (aeration). This results in better cooling and more consistent damping during aggressive driving.

Are these shocks sold as a pair?
Yes, this specific SKU (2xRS77119_n748) includes 2 shocks for the front axle.
