Rancho RS9000XL 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 2001-2006 Ford Explorer Sport Trac

Part Number: RS999229

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series delivers industry-leading versatility for the Ford Explorer Sport Trac and Mercury Mountaineer. Featuring a globally recognized 9-position manual adjustment knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly transition from a soft, compliant street ride to a firm, controlled setting for towing or off-road use. Engineered for stock-height vehicles, they provide a significant upgrade in damping control over factory equipment while maintaining original ride height.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure customized ride control for any terrain or load requirement.
• Large Shock Body: A 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased fluid 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 damping performance.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty polyvinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against road debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
These shocks feature a 9-position manual knob located at the base of the shock body; simply turn the dial to your preferred setting—lower for comfort, higher for control.

Will these shocks lift my Ford Explorer Sport Trac?
No, these shocks are configured for a 0-inch lift and are designed to replace the factory-length dampers without changing the vehicle’s ride height.

What is the benefit of the large 2.75-inch body?
The larger body houses more oil, which helps dissipate heat more effectively than standard shocks, preventing performance fade during spirited driving or towing.
