Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series is the industry leader in adjustable damping control, specifically engineered for vehicles with a 3-inch front lift. Featuring a 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly transition from a soft street ride to a firm setting for heavy towing or off-road stability. This versatility ensures your GMC S-15 maintains optimal ride quality regardless of terrain or payload requirements.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure customized ride control for any environment.
• 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 immediate response to road irregularities to ensure consistent tire-to-road contact.
• Polyurethane Bushings: High-density material provides enhanced durability and reduced deflection to ensure long-term pivot point reliability.

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; simply turn the dial to your desired setting without the need for tools.

Will these shocks lift my GMC S-15 by 3 inches?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for vehicles that already have a 3-inch lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the larger 2.75-inch body?
The increased fluid capacity allows the shock to dissipate heat more effectively than standard shocks, preventing performance fade during aggressive driving or heavy hauling.
