Part Number: RS999136

Summary: The Rancho RS9000XL series delivers industry-leading versatility for Ford F-150 owners who demand total control over their ride quality. Featuring a globally recognized 9-position manual adjustment knob, these shocks allow you to instantly tune your damping levels to match specific terrains or towing demands. Whether you are navigating off-road trails or commuting on the highway, this set provides the engineering flexibility to transition from a soft, compliant ride to a firm, performance-oriented setup in seconds.

Features

• 9-Position Tuning: A manual adjustment knob provides nine distinct levels of damping force to ensure the driver can optimize ride quality for towing, hauling, or off-road use.
• Large Shock Body: A heavy-duty 2.75-in. diameter body provides increased fluid capacity to ensure cooler operation and consistent damping during extreme cycles.
• Nitrogen Gas Charged: High-pressure gas integration provides a reduction in aeration and foaming to ensure immediate response and fade-free performance.
• 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

Do I need tools to adjust the shock firmness?
No, the RS9000XL features an external 9-position knob that can be turned by hand, allowing for on-the-fly tuning without specialized equipment.

Will these shocks lift my Ford F-150?
No, these shocks do not create lift. They are specifically valved and extended to accommodate vehicles already equipped with a 3-inch suspension lift kit.

What is the benefit of the larger 2.75-inch body?
The larger body houses more oil, which acts as a heat sink to dissipate thermal energy faster, preventing the shock from “fading” or losing effectiveness during heavy use.
