Part Number: RS77119

Summary: The Rancho RS7MT series is engineered for high-performance handling and rapid heat dissipation on classic 4WD platforms. Specifically designed for the 1975-1984 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 and US Postal FJ-8A, these monotube shocks utilize a high-pressure nitrogen gas charge to provide precise damping response. The monotube architecture eliminates oil aeration and foaming, ensuring consistent control during demanding off-road maneuvers or sustained highway travel. This system is configured for 0″ lift height, maintaining the original factory stance while significantly upgrading the vehicle’s damping characteristics.

Features

• Monotube Design: A high-pressure nitrogen gas charge provides rapid valve response to ensure precise handling and zero aeration.
• Internal Floating Piston: The physical separation of gas and oil provides consistent damping performance to ensure fade-free operation during high-frequency cycling.
• Hardened Nitro-Carburized Rod: The heavy-duty piston rod provides superior scuff and corrosion resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.
• Application-Specific Valving: Custom-tuned internal shim stacks provide optimized rebound and compression to ensure a balanced ride on classic solid-axle configurations.
