Rancho RS9000XL 2.5-4″ Front Lift Shocks for 1961-1971 Dodge W100 4WD

Part Number: RS999114

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides industry-leading adjustability for classic 4WD applications. Featuring a 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow owners of the Dodge W100 and Plymouth Trailduster to instantly switch between a soft street ride and firm damping for off-road or towing scenarios. Engineered to accommodate 2.5 to 4 inches of front lift, these shocks deliver a custom-tuned feel that modernizes the handling characteristics of vintage heavy-duty suspensions.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure the vehicle is perfectly calibrated for specific terrain or load requirements.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during sustained cycling.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurized: High-pressure gas charging provides a barrier against oil foaming to ensure consistent damping performance under high-stress conditions.
• Polyurethane Bushings: Durable polyurethane material provides enhanced pivot surface longevity to ensure quiet operation and reduced deflection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The RS9000XL features a red 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body. Simply turn the dial to your desired setting, with 1 being the softest and 9 being the firmest.

Will these shocks lift my Dodge W100?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and sized to function correctly on vehicles already equipped with a 2.5-inch to 4-inch lift kit.

Are there any special installation requirements?
Yes, per the fitment notes, the inner diameter of the shock bushings is smaller than the factory mounting pins. Use a high-quality lubricant and additional pressure to seat the bushings during installation.
