RANCHO® LOADED QUICKLIFT™ ALLOWS FOR LARGER TIRES, WHEELS & LIFT WITHOUT SUSPENSION SYSTEM EXPENSE

LOS ANGELES, Tues., Jan. 25, 2011 – Rancho® has announced the release of Rancho Loaded QuickLIFT™ technology, a new suspension option that allows owners of trucks and SUVs to upgrade their tire and wheel packages without investing in a more expensive suspension system.

The new Rancho Loaded QuickLIFT unit includes the application-matched and installed coil spring and upper mounting plate, simplifying installation and improving performance while providing an opportunity to level and lift the truck or SUV up to 1- to 2.5-in.

“The new Loaded QuickLIFT is completely assembled straight out of the box, making it even easier for do-it-yourselfers to install,” said Joe Pase, general manager, Rancho. An engineering leader in the off-road suspension marketplace, Rancho products are manufactured and marketed by Tenneco Inc. (NYSE:TEN) and headquartered in Long Beach, Calif.

The new Loaded QuickLIFT is based largely on the brand’s original QuickLIFT units that earned the 2006 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) award for best new off-road product. Fully compatible with the SEMA-award winning Rancho MyRIDE™ Wireless Controller, Rancho Loaded QuickLIFT units can be wirelessly controlled from the cab.

The MyRIDE Wireless Controller provides one-touch wireless damping control of QuickLIFT units. The Wireless Controller includes a variety of one-touch presets, including Highway, Sport, Tow/Haul, Off-Road, and a driver-determined MyRide, which allows the owner to set his own preferred ride setting and save it for future use.
