Rancho RS7MT Front Shock for Super Duty

The Rancho RS7MT RS77267 is a front suspension shock absorber tuned for on-road control and off-road stability. It is built for 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2000-2005 Ford Excursion applications with 0″ lift.

RS7MT monotube construction helps dissipate heat efficiently, which is valuable on rough terrain and with larger wheel and tire packages. The RS77267 also uses an integrated dirt wiper sealing system, a hardened piston rod for scuff and corrosion resistance, and an internal rebound bumper to help smooth suspension movement.

Product Details

The Rancho RS7MT line is aimed at drivers who want precise handling on pavement and dependable control off-road. This RS77267 front shock uses a monotube body with a 1.97 in reserve tube diameter, 14.09 in body length, 15.08 in compressed length, 23 in extended length, and 7.92 in travel length. It is a direct-fit suspension shock absorber for 1999-2004 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 1999-2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2000-2005 Ford Excursion front suspension applications with no lift.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application. The RS77267 part number is also referenced as a direct replacement option in related suspension catalogs.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive front-end bounce over uneven roads
• Reduced control during towing or loaded driving
• Heat buildup from repeated off-road suspension cycling
• Dirt intrusion around the shock shaft and seals
• Ride harshness from abrupt rebound movement

Installation Notes

Verify front suspension fitment before installation and confirm the vehicle is configured for 0″ lift. Match the upper and lower mounting styles to the existing hardware and inspect surrounding suspension components for wear before replacing the shock. For best results, install in pairs on the same axle and torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturers specifications.

Quality Assurance

Rancho RS7MT shocks are engineered for precision handling and durability in mixed on-road and off-road use. The RS77267 uses a hardened piston rod, sealed dirt wiper design, and rebound control features to support long-term suspension performance in Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, and Ford Excursion front applications.
