Rancho RS9000XL 3″ Front Lift Shocks for 1981-1996 Ford F-150 4WD

Part Number: RS999136

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series provides industry-leading adjustability for drivers who demand total control over their vehicle’s ride profile. Featuring a 9-position manual tuning knob, these shocks allow you to instantly transition from a soft street ride to a firm setting optimized for towing or aggressive off-road use. Engineered for the Ford F-150 4WD, these shocks are specifically configured for 3-inch front lift applications to maintain proper suspension travel and damping performance.

Features

• MyRide 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine levels of damping force to ensure custom-tailored ride control for any terrain or load.
• Nitrogen Gas Pressurization: High-pressure gas charging provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure consistent damping during rapid cycling.
• Large Shock Body: A heavy-duty 2.75-inch diameter body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operating temperatures during heavy-duty use.
• Protective Boot: A durable poly-vinyl 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?
The RS9000XL features a manual 9-position knob located at the base of the shock body; simply turn the dial to increase or decrease damping resistance.

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-150?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and length-matched for vehicles that already have a 3-inch front lift kit installed.

What is the benefit of the larger shock body?
The increased oil capacity of the 2.75-inch body allows the shock to run cooler under stress, which prevents “shock fade” during prolonged off-road use.
