Rancho RS9000XL 0″ Front Lift Shocks for 1995-2001 Ford Explorer

Part Number: RS999229

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides industry-leading versatility for Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer owners who demand control over their ride quality. Featuring a 9-position manual adjustment knob, these shocks allow you to instantly tune the damping profile from soft for daily commuting to firm for heavy hauling or off-road stability. Designed for stock height vehicles, these shocks solve the compromise between comfort and performance by putting the final tuning parameters in the driver’s hands.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure custom 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 operation and consistent damping during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas optimization provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free performance.
• Heavy-Duty Piston: A 18mm nitro-carbonized rod provides structural rigidity and scuff resistance to ensure long-term seal integrity in harsh environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the firmness of these shocks?
The RS9000XL features an external 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body. Simply turn the dial to your desired setting; lower numbers for a softer ride and higher numbers for increased firmness.

Will these shocks lift my Ford Explorer?
No, these shocks are configured for 0-inches of lift and are designed to replace factory-length shocks. They do not provide lift height but rather improve ride quality and control at stock height.

What is the benefit of the larger 2.75-inch body?
The oversized body allows for a higher oil capacity. This helps dissipate heat more efficiently than smaller diameter shocks, preventing “shock fade” during repetitive cycling on rough roads.
