Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides industry-leading versatility for the Ford Explorer Sport and Mercury Mountaineer. Featuring a 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly adjust damping levels to compensate for varying loads or terrain. Whether you are seeking firm control for towing or a soft, compliant ride for daily commuting, this nitrogen gas-charged solution delivers custom-tailored performance for your rear suspension.

Features

• 9-Position Manual Tuning: A globally recognized adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping control to ensure the vehicle is perfectly calibrated for street, off-road, or towing applications.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging provides a reduction in oil foaming and aeration to ensure consistent damping performance during aggressive suspension cycling.
• Large Shock Body: An increased fluid capacity design provides superior heat dissipation to ensure fade-free operation under heavy loads.
• 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.
