Rancho RS9000XL 2.5″ Rear Lift Shocks for 1990-1993 Ford Explorer 4WD

Part Number: RS999185

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series delivers industry-leading versatility for the Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer through its sophisticated manual tuning interface. Featuring a 9-position adjustable knob, these shocks allow drivers to instantly transition from a plush street ride to a firm, controlled setting for towing or off-road excursions. This Tier 2 adjustable system solves the compromise between comfort and performance by putting damping control directly in the hands of the user.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure the perfect ride quality for any terrain or load requirement.
• Large Shock Body: The 2.75-inch diameter reserve tube provides increased oil capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas optimization provides a faster response rate to ensure consistent tire-to-road contact.
• Protective Boot: A heavy-duty poly-vinyl accordion boot provides a physical barrier for the piston rod to ensure long-term seal integrity against trail debris.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I adjust these shocks without removing them from the vehicle?
Yes, the 9-position adjustment knob is externally mounted on the shock body for easy access while the vehicle is parked.

Do these shocks provide the 2.5 inches of lift?

What setting should I use for daily driving?
Most users find settings 1-3 ideal for unloaded street driving, while settings 7-9 are best for heavy towing or aggressive off-road use.
