Awesome and yes, the Fox Live Valve shocks are on another level. The fact that they can send tunes to you over the airwaves is insane! There is no other active system like this on the market. My only concern is reliability.
Oh yeah, there's nothing cheap about these things.
Very cool! So happy we could share all this stuff with you.
Big difference between having a remote control shock adjuster and Live Valve but still, back then, Rancho was way ahead of their time. You still don't see that feature on even high end King, Falcon or whatever adjustable shock that's out there today. Craziest thing is, Rancho even had a coilover and I'm pretty sure you could add that feature to it too. Sucks they got bought out and got rid of all the good and innovative people. Totally squandered a good thing and all just because they weren't selling as many units as their tier 1 stuff.
It wasn't much but the few things like both of those were probably some of the most cool new things to some to SEMA in a while.
I didn’t realize Rancho got bought out, did they get swallowed up by Real Truck or some private equity group?
Actually, they got bought out by Tennaco back in the 1990s. Tennaco was then bought by Federal Mogul and that's when things started to go down hill. Tennaco is now owned by Apollo Global Management and they pretty much got rid of everyone (recently) in Rancho and I do mean everyone. There literally is nobody left there to run that wing of the company right now and it's really sad.
I wanted this kit so bad back in the day. I did have their adjustables that worked nice. I too remember changing them for the trail on my TJ.
