Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides the ultimate in ride control versatility for your GMC V2500. Featuring a globally recognized 9-position manual adjustment knob, these shocks allow you to instantly transition from a soft street ride to a firm setting for heavy towing or aggressive off-road use. Engineered to accommodate 2.5 to 4 inches of lift, they provide the necessary travel and damping force required for lifted applications while maintaining OE-style reliability.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping resistance to ensure the driver can customize ride quality for any terrain or load.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas optimization provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance under rapid cycling.
• Heavy-Duty Piston: A 18mm nitro-carburized rod provides increased structural rigidity to ensure long-term durability in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The RS9000XL features a manual 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body. You simply turn the dial to your desired setting—lower numbers for a softer ride and higher numbers for firmer damping.

Do these shocks come with the protective red boots?
Yes, this kit includes the signature Rancho red protective boots to shield the piston rod from dirt, debris, and moisture.

Can I use these shocks on a stock height vehicle?
No, these specific part numbers are configured for vehicles with 2.5 to 4 inches of suspension lift to ensure proper travel and prevent bottoming out.
