New Rancho® Crawler Short-Arm Kits Combine Convenient Install with Competitive, Performance-Driven Ride

Suspensions for Unlimited Rubicon & Unlimited Non-Rubicon JLs Feature Exclusive
New Technologies & More to Deliver Enthusiast-Inspired Package

Las Vegas, Tues., Oct. 30, 2018 – Rancho – a leader in off-road suspension systems for the Jeep
market – has announced the release of two new off-road specific, precision engineered Rancho
Crawler short-arm suspension systems for the Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Rubicon and Unlimited
non-Rubicon models.
The new Rancho Crawler short-arm 3.5-in. suspension system for Wrangler JL Unlimited Rubicons (Part
No. RS66123B) and 4.5-in. suspension system for Wrangler JL Unlimited non-Rubicons (Part No.
RS66125B) deliver enthusiast-driven design enhancements to provide competitive ride performance and
vehicle stance. These systems are designed and engineered to be complaint with the U.S. Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 126 – Electronic Stability Control Systems (FMVSS-126).
On display in the brand’s Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show booth (#25133) this
week, the new Rancho Crawler short-arm kits for the Jeep JL Unlimited Rubicon and Unlimited
non-Rubicon models include progressive rate coil springs and adjustable Rancho control arms with
new Rancho® D2 synthetic high articulation bushings to deliver superior dampening, improved
ride/handling characteristics and no maintenance. These systems also feature D2 bushings inside the
heavy-duty front and rear track bars to easily center the axles. The systems were designed for
convenience after installation and allow for caster and pinion angle adjustments while installed.
Each system is compatible with an array of Rancho performance shock absorbers, including regular
and extended length Rancho RS5000™X and RS9000™XL units, that are available for purchase
separately. The JL-specific RS5000X
and RS9000XL shocks also include an exclusive, innovative new shock technology,
Dynamic Rebound Spring™ (DRS) technology. DRS technology includes a unique internal system that has
a precisely tuned metal spring and fortified interior construction to improve control, reduce
vehicle body roll and prevent rod overextension.
“Jeep owners looking for an off-road performance suspension system want to be able to fully
customize their experience. By offering RS5000X and RS9000XL shocks in regular and extended length
designs, we’re giving enthusiasts the opportunity to dial in the system specific to their use, ride
preference and appearance,” said Mike Sype, product and marketing manager, Rancho.
The Rancho kits were designed for full compatibility with the Jeep Electronic Stability Control
System. The systems fit up to an 37-in. tire. Each system includes highly detailed, full-color,
step-by-step Rancho installation guides. An aftermarket driveshaft is required for this kit to
achieve maximum front articulation.
The Rancho Crawler kits, along with the included RS5000X or RS9000XL shock absorbers, are backed by
Rancho’s Limited Lifetime Warranty. Rancho RS5000X and RS9000XL shocks also are covered by a
90-day, risk-free offer, which allows consumers to try certain dampers on any truck or SUV for 90
days. Consumers can return their shocks within 90 days for a full refund of the product’s purchase
price. To learn more about these warranties and offers, visit www.GoRancho.com.
