Rancho RS9000XL 0-2″ Front Lift Shocks for 1981-1986 Chevy K10 4WD

Part Number: RS999151

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides industry-leading adjustability for the classic Chevy K10 and GMC Suburban 1500. Featuring a globally recognized 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly switch between a soft street ride and a firm setting for heavy towing or off-road stability. Engineered for vehicles with 0-2 inches of front lift, these shocks solve the compromise between daily comfort and utility performance.

Features

• MyRide 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping to ensure the perfect ride quality for any terrain or load requirement.
• Large Diameter Body: A heavy-duty 2.75-inch shock body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during sustained cycling.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging provides a barrier against oil foaming to ensure consistent damping force in demanding conditions.
• Polyurethane Bushings: Durable polyurethane material provides enhanced pivot points to ensure long-term service life and reduced NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The RS9000XL features a manual dial at the base of the shock; simply turn the knob to position 1 for the softest ride or position 9 for the firmest.

Will these shocks lift my Chevy K10?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and lengthened to be compatible with vehicles already equipped with 0 to 2 inches of front lift.

What is the benefit of the large 2.75-inch body?
The larger body houses more oil, which helps dissipate heat faster than standard shocks, preventing performance fade during heavy use.
