Rancho RS9000XL 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1987-1991 GMC V3500 4WD

Part Number: RS999151

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides industry-leading versatility for the GMC V3500, featuring a globally recognized 9-position manual adjustment system. This Tier 2 adjustable shock allows drivers to instantly toggle between a soft street ride and a firm setting for heavy-duty towing or off-road stability. Engineered to accommodate up to a 2-inch front lift, these shocks solve the “one size fits all” damping issue by putting ride control directly in the user’s hands.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning Knob: A manual adjustment dial provides nine distinct levels of damping to ensure the perfect ride for any terrain or load requirement.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid capacity to ensure consistent performance and reduced fade during high-heat operation.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas displacement provides immediate response to road irregularities to ensure a controlled and comfortable driving experience.
• Liquid Metallic Finish: A premium zinc-plated coating provides superior corrosion resistance to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
These shocks feature an external 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body. Simply turn the dial to your desired setting; higher numbers provide a firmer ride for towing, while lower numbers offer a softer ride for comfort.

Will these shocks lift my GMC V3500?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically configured and valved for vehicles with 0 to 2 inches of front lift to ensure the piston remains in the optimal operating range.

What is the benefit of the large 2.75-inch body?
The larger body houses more hydraulic fluid, which acts as a heat sink. This prevents “shock fade” during heavy use, ensuring your damping remains consistent even when driving on rough washboard roads.
