The testing was completed with a 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 that*included a 6-in. Rancho suspension system, rear*Rancho®*RS7000MT™*shocks and front OE struts with spacers. The Sierra also was equipped with*BFGoodrich®*Mud-Terrain T/AKM2*325/60R20 tires and Vision*Off-Road Assassin 20-in. wheels.

Rancho lift kit and RS7000MT™*struts, in addition to*BFGoodrich®*Mud-Terrain T/AKM2*325/60R20 tires and OE Wheel Works 20-in. wheels.
The GMC system testing took place at Arizona Proving*Grounds, Wittman, Az., and the Ford system testing took*place at the Ford*Proving Grounds in Dearborn, Mich. Both tests were completed by Link*Engineering Company of*Dearborn.
“This is a huge achievement for Rancho, BFGoodrich and OE*Wheel Works.

Gauss noted that Tenneco will continue testing aftermarket*suspension systems in future product platform rollouts.*The new Rancho Sierra*suspension system includes the brand’s well-known, one-piece sub-frame in the*new kit to help*maximize performance. The Rancho sub-frame features a*precision-matched fit and is constructed from ¼-in. thick steel.*The Rancho*Sierra system is available in two configurations to match the OE steering*knuckle material, including Rancho*engineered and fabricated steel knuckles or*aluminum knuckles. The kit also includes a variety of components that help*ensure durability and deliver trademark**Rancho fit, such as high-clearance aft braces,*front differential drop brackets,*extended-length, DOT-certified front brake*lines and more.
The Rancho Ford suspension system also includes a heavy-duty,*one-piece subframe constructed of high-strength*low-alloy steel and*CNC-machined, extended steering knuckles. Additional components also are*included in the kit to deliver*on- and off-road handling and performance*benefits to the popular truck.
Rancho RS7000MT monotube shocks and struts quickly and*effectively dissipate heat to help resist overheating*during extreme use.*RS7000MT units provide fast, precise response in on- and off-road driving. Each*monotube strut*includes the spring seat.
