Rancho RS9000XL 0-3″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1973-1982 Chevy Blazer 2WD

Part Number: RS999118

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series is the industry leader in adjustable damping control, specifically engineered to handle the demands of both daily driving and off-road recovery. Featuring a 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow you to instantly transition from a soft, compliant street ride to a firm, controlled setting for towing or heavy cargo. Designed for the rear of 1973-1982 Chevy Blazer 2WD models, these shocks are configured for 0-3 inches of lift, providing the versatility needed for various suspension heights and load requirements.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning Knob: A manual adjustment dial provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure precise ride control across different terrains and load weights.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurized: High-pressure gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent performance during aggressive cycling.
• Large Shock Body: A heavy-duty 2.75-inch diameter body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Protective Boot: A durable red polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against debris.

Why Choose This Product?

• Engineering Advantage: Unlike “one-size-fits-all” shocks, the RS9000XL utilizes a liquid-cell design and adjustable valving to provide a custom-tuned feel for older chassis geometry.
• Performance Benefit: Drivers gain the ability to eliminate “rear-end sag” feel when hauling or firm up the suspension to prevent “bottoming out” on uneven trails.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The RS9000XL features a manual knob at the base of the shock body; simply turn the dial from 1 (softest) to 9 (firmest) to reach your desired damping level.

Do these shocks provide the lift for my Blazer?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically lengthened and valved to work with vehicles that already have 0 to 3 inches of rear lift installed.

Is the protective boot required for installation?
While the shock will function without it, the included boot is highly recommended to protect the piston rod from rock chips and road salt, which can damage the seals.
