Systems Pass*Federal Rollover Safety Test; Rancho Engineers Integrate Options to Accommodate*Varying OE Steering Knuckle Material
Long*Beach, Calif., Dec. 12, 2013 –*The*new Rancho 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 suspension systems recently passed the U.S.*Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 126 –*Electronic Stability Control*Systems (FMVSS-126) test – and were engineered to accommodate the varying*steering knuckle materials being used by GMC.
The truck that recently passed*FMVSS-126 included the new 6-in. Rancho suspension system, rear Rancho®*RS7000MT™ (RS7297) shocks, and front OE struts with spacers.*The truck also was*outfitted with BFGoodrich®*Mud-Terrain T/AKM2*325/60R20*tires and 20-in. Vision Off-Road Assassin wheels finished in matte black.
“We’re excited to announce that the new*systems passed federal requirements for rollover safety,” said Chris Gauss,*sales and marketing manager, performance brands,*Tenneco. “The kits also exemplify*our Rancho engineering heritage. We can accommodate either OE steel steering*knuckles or OE aluminum steering knuckles through our system*options, making it*easy for Sierra owners to lift their new 2014 Sierra.”
The new systems include an entire host*of components that help preserve performance while lifting the vehicle for extending*off-road capabilities. The new systems feature a one-piece sub-frame for a*precision-matched fit and added strength; high-clearance aft braces to maximize*ground clearance; front differential drop brackets that correct pinion angle to*help*minimize driveline vibration; and extended-length, DOT-certified front*brake lines.
The kits are available in two*configurations to match the OE steering knuckle material, including Rancho*engineered and fabricated extended steel knuckles (RS66301B) or*aluminum*knuckles (RS66302B).
The Rancho systems were designed for a fast,*easy install – Rancho engineers maintained OE-quality steering precision*by maintaining the factory’s rack and pinion location and*preserved OE geometry*for minimal bump steer. No drivetrain or exhaust modifications are necessary.*The kits include highly detailed, illustrated instructions. All Rancho brackets*are*manufactured using high-strength, low-alloy steel.
Any of the Rancho performance shock*absorber series (RS9000XL™, RS7000MT™ and RS5000™) work with these systems.
The Rancho Sierra systems are backed by*the Rancho brand’s limited lifetime warranty, see*www.GoRancho.com*for additional details.
Rancho is headquartered in Long Beach,*Calif., and is manufactured*and marketed by Tenneco Automotive Operating Company*Inc., a subsidiary of Tenneco Inc.
