Part Number: RS999229

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series defines versatility for the Ford Explorer Sport and Mercury Mountaineer. Featuring a globally recognized 9-position manual adjustment knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly transition from a soft street ride to a firm setting optimized for towing or spirited off-road use. By providing individual control over damping levels, the RS9000XL corrects the compromise found in standard shocks, ensuring your vehicle handles specifically to your current load and terrain requirements.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping to ensure custom-tailored 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 use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas charge provides a consistent response and minimizes aeration to ensure fade-free performance.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty liquid metallic finish and included poly-vinyl boot provide a shield against debris to ensure long-term seal integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I adjust these shocks while they are installed?
Yes, the 9-position knob is easily accessible on the shock body, allowing you to change settings in seconds without any disassembly.

Do these shocks provide any lift to my vehicle?
No, these shocks are configured for 0-inches of lift and are designed to replace the factory-length dampers on your Ford Explorer Sport or Mercury Mountaineer.

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 2-inch shocks, which prevents the oil from thinning and losing damping force during hard use.
